Where I can find getLevel()?

Question

In the code below is using 'getLevel()'. where I can find it (it is about sound, and it run with pyaudio library)

# this is the threshold that determines whether or not sound is detected
THRESHOLD = 0

#open your audio stream    

# wait until the sound data breaks some level threshold
while True:
    data = stream.read(chunk)
    # check level against threshold, you'll have to write getLevel()
    if getLevel(data) > THRESHOLD:
        break

# record for however long you want
# close the stream

Answer 1

Look at the imports that have been executed. You'll either find from someModule import getLevel, or from someModule import *.

Answer 2

You could have a look at http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/module-audioop.html This is another python module to handle audio, but that one does seem to have a method to get the audio level ( max(fragment, width) ).
