I’m planning on writing a simple, plugin-friendly audio player in Python (à la foobar2000), but don’t even know where to begin. I’ve never handled any IO other than plain text. Could somebody recommend some resources on handling audio and audio codecs in Python? If there’s any well-commented source code from existing python audio players, that’d be extremely helpful as well.

    A music player needs a GUI, right?
    Why not go with PySide – a Python binding for the Qt cross-platform UI framework and it’s awesome multimedia framework Phonon?

    It’s all cross-platform and works with Python 3.

    However, I’m not really sure where to get started with Phonon… it’s probably just the documentation.
    And here is a good tutorial for the GUI part of PySide.
