Can I access a users microphone in Python?
Sorry I forgot not everyone is a mind reader: Windows at minimum XP but Vista support would be VERY good.

Best way to go about it would be to use the ctypes library and use WinMM from that. mixerOpen will open a microphone device and you can read the data easily from there. Should be very straightforward.

Do you think you can provide some sample code for this? I can call mixerGetNumDevs but i'm not sure how to get from there to mixerOpen or for reading levels. TIA

I got the job done with pyaudio
It comes with a binary installer for windows and there's even an example on how to record through the microphone and save to a wave file. Nice! I used it on Windows XP, not sure how it will do on Vista though, sorry.

"Note that PyAudio currently only supports blocking-mode audio I/O.PyAudio is still super-duper alpha quality." from website
