Python Sound ("Bell")
Have you tried :
import sys
sys.stdout.write('\a')
sys.stdout.flush()
That works for me here on Mac OS 10.5
Actually, I think your original attempt works also with a little modification:
print('\a')
(You just need the single quotes around the character sequence).
If you have PyObjC (the Python - Objective-C bridge) installed or are running on OS X 10.5's system python (which ships with PyObjC), you can do
from AppKit import NSBeep
NSBeep()
to play the system alert.
