How to do real-time audio signal processing using python

[jefsummers]

The following works. I got it from GitHub https://gist.github.com/mabdrabo/8678538
and modified it to work with Python 3. It will record several seconds from the microphone then saves if off as a .wav file

import pyaudio
import wave
 
FORMAT = pyaudio.paInt16
CHANNELS = 2
RATE = 44100
CHUNK = 1024
RECORD_SECONDS = 5
WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME = "file.wav"
 
audio = pyaudio.PyAudio()
 
# start Recording
stream = audio.open(format=FORMAT, channels=CHANNELS,
                rate=RATE, input=True,
                frames_per_buffer=CHUNK)
print ("recording...")
frames = []
 
for i in range(0, int(RATE / CHUNK * RECORD_SECONDS)):
    data = stream.read(CHUNK)
    frames.append(data)
print ("finished recording")
 
 
# stop Recording
stream.stop_stream()
stream.close()
audio.terminate()
 
waveFile = wave.open(WAVE_OUTPUT_FILENAME, 'wb')
waveFile.setnchannels(CHANNELS)
waveFile.setsampwidth(audio.get_sample_size(FORMAT))
waveFile.setframerate(RATE)
waveFile.writeframes(b''.join(frames))
waveFile.close()
