Sound module question

[Aaron Berg]

I started programming python a few months ago and I am still learning.
Does anyone know of a sound module for simple reading and writing of
sound in linux? I know there is a win32 sound module and there is one
for SGI but is there one for linux? oss or alsa... I don't know much
about this issue so it is possible i am just looking in the wrong place.
Thanks,
Aaron
