[Tutor] read sound file via url

[nicolas maleve]

hello,

I make my first steps with the snack library.
I would like to make a python script to read an ogg file over the net.
At the moment the only solution I could manage to get working is to save the
file on disk and then read it.
For larger sound file, I would prefer to read them directly via a url.
Can anyone put me in the right direction?

here follows my script with the locally saved version...

#! /usr/bin/env python
#
# Usage: oggplay.py http://www.myserver.com/file.ogg
#
# Note: this script will also play audio files in any other format supported
# by tkSnack

import urllib
import sys
from Tkinter import *
from tkSnack import *

initializeSnack(Tkinter.Tk())

# Load the Ogg/Vorbis format package

Tk().tk.eval('package require snackogg')

if sys.argv[1:]:
	host=sys.argv[1]
	file=urllib.urlopen(host)
	test=file.info()
	print test
	print "reading\n"
	snd_net = file.read()
	f=open("test.ogg","wb")
	print "opening file for writing"
	f.write(snd_net)
	print "writing\n"
	f.close()
	print "closed\n"
	print "now trying to play\n"
	
	snd=Sound(file="test.ogg")
	snd.play(blocking=1)
	print "does it exit now?"
else:
	print "Usage: oggplay.py http://www.myserver.com/file.ogg"
