Question about wave.py

[ben at co.and.co]

It looks like I'm missing the point, so if somebody could enlighten me?

Read all frames of a *.wav file:
------------------------------------
import wave

w = wave.open('test.wav', rb)
frames = w.readframes(w.getnframes())

# now, we have all frames in ``frames''
# but how are we supposed to handle the individual frames?
# perhaps like this, but...

import array

frames_2 = array.array('h')          # assuming 16bit mono
frames_2 = array.fromstring(frames)

print "Frame[100]: %d" % (frames_2[100],)

# ... this works, but now we have 2 copies of all frames :-(

Thanks in advance,
