Speex in Python

Question

How can I use Speex to encode/decode from within python? Are there any wrappers? I found an old project pySpeex but it is obsolete now (requires Python 2.2).

Answer 1

I think starting from pySpeex (and tweaking any issue that may arise if you're using Python 2.6, say, in lieu of 2.2) is by far the path of least resistance -- there aren't that many backward incompatibilities between 2.2 and 2.6, after all, so the amount of work should be pretty limited (and then you can contribute the patches, if any, back to pySpeex's maintainers to gain some good karma -- why not, after all?).
