Need help with audioop module...

[Tonearm]

Hi,

Anyone out there working with wave audio in python?  I would appreciate any
help you could provide here...

As a newcomer to Python I am having trouble understanding what is meant by
an audio "fragment" in the description of the audioop module.  I understand
that these are signed integer samples stored in python strings, but am
unsure read data from a wave file and store it as such in a "fragment".

Thanks in advance!
Andrew
