[python-win32] Simple little sound mixing app that reads timing/sound data from XML file

[Jacob Kruger]

Oh yes, and considered class implementation, but, haven't bothered as of yet, since, like said, this was actually more of a form of testing/trying out XML parsing to start off with.

Also, presume with regards to global keyword usage, while it may not always be required/necessary, unless you want to be 100% sure referral to something like that blStop, sort of boolean switch variable is definitely referring to correct object/element, I was maybe also just being careful, but, will have a look around for a bit more documentation regarding this side of it - sorry, but, python is also sort of like my secondary platform, so am definitely not perfect in my workings with it as such...<smile>...and, things like the blStop switch variable are generally the type of thing would try use if was running something like the playback routines in another, background thread process, or something, instead of how this one is currently operating.

Stay well

    As subject line says - current example .xml file is tracks.xml, and sound clips are in /sounds subdirectory, and it uses sound_lib to handle playback:

  Are you looking for critique?

  With the one exception of blStop in OnEvent, none of your "global" directives are necessary.  As an overgeneralization, global variables are bad.  That "lbc.py" module encourages you to think of your application in a rather non-Pythonic (non-wx) way, in my opinion.  Usually, almost your whole app would be member functions within a class derived from wx.Dialog.
