Interface to CD-ROM player.
|
|
|
|
This module implements an interface to the built-in cd module. The
|
|
intention is to provide a more user-friendly interface than the
|
|
built-in module.
|
|
|
|
The module defines a class Readcd with several methods. The
|
|
initialization of the class will try to open the CD player. This
|
|
means that initialization will fail if the CD player is already in
|
|
use. A RuntimeError will be raised by the cd module in that case.
|
|
|
|
The way to work with this module is as follows. The user specifies
|
|
the parts of the CD that are to be read and he specifies callback
|
|
functions which are to be called by the system. At some point he can
|
|
tell the system to play. The specified parts of the CD will then be
|
|
read and the callbacks will be called.
|
|
|
|
Initialization.
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
r = readcd.Readcd([cd-player [, mode]])
|
|
|
|
The optional arguments are the name of the CD device and the mode.
|
|
When "mode" is not specified, it defaults to 'r' (which is the only
|
|
possible value); when "cd-player" also isn't specified, it defaults
|
|
to "None" which indicates the default CD player.
|
|
|
|
Methods.
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
eject() -- Eject the CD from the player.
|
|
|
|
reset() -- Reset the list of data stretches to be played.
|
|
|
|
appendtrack(track) -- Append the specified track to the list of music
|
|
stretches.
|
|
|
|
appendstretch(first, last) -- Append the stretch from "first" to "last"
|
|
to the list of music stretches. Both "first" and "last" can be in one
|
|
of four forms. "None": for "first", the beginning of the CD, for
|
|
"last" the end of the CD; a single integer: a track number--playing
|
|
starts at the beginning of the track or ends at the end of the
|
|
specified track; a three-tuple: the absolute time from the start of
|
|
the CD in minutes, seconds, frames; a four-tuple: track number and
|
|
relative time within the track in minutes, seconds, frames.
|
|
|
|
settracks(tracklist) -- The argument is a list of integers. The list
|
|
of stretches is set to argument list. The old list is discarded.
|
|
|
|
setcallback(type, func, arg) -- Set a callback function for "type".
|
|
The function will be called as func(arg, type, data) where "arg" is
|
|
the third argument of setcallback, "type" is the type of callback,
|
|
"data" is type-dependent data. See the CDsetcallback(3) manual page
|
|
for more information. The possible "type" arguments are defined in
|
|
the CD module.
|
|
|
|
removecallback(type) -- Remove the callback for "type".
|
|
|
|
gettrackinfo([tracklist]) -- Return a list of tuples. Each tuple
|
|
consists of start and length information of a track. The start and
|
|
length information consist of three-tuples with minutes, seconds and
|
|
frames. The optional tracklist argument gives a list of interesting
|
|
track numbers. If no tracklist is specified, information about all
|
|
tracks is returned.
|
|
|
|
getstatus() -- Return the status information of the CD.
|
|
|
|
play() -- Play the preprogrammed stretches of music from the CD. When
|
|
nothing was programmed, the whole CD is played.
|
|
|
|
Specifying stretches.
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
There are three methods available to specify a stretch of music to be
|
|
played. The easiest way is to use "settracklist(tracklist)" with which
|
|
a list of tracks can be specified. "settracklist(tracklist)" is
|
|
equivalent to the sequence
|
|
reset()
|
|
for track in tracklist:
|
|
appendtrack(track)
|
|
|
|
The next method is "appendtrack(track)" with which a whole track can be
|
|
added to the list of music to be played. "appendtrack(track)" is
|
|
equivalent to "appendstretch(track, track)".
|
|
|
|
The most complete method is "appendstretch(first, last)". Using this
|
|
method, it is possible to specify any stretch of music.
|
|
|
|
When two consecutive tracks are played, it is possible to choose
|
|
whether the pause that may be between the tracks is played as well or
|
|
whether the pause should be skipped. When the end of a stretch is
|
|
specified using a track number and the next stretch starts at the
|
|
beginning of the following track and that was also specified using the
|
|
track number (that is, both were specified as integers, not as tuples),
|
|
the pause is played. When either value was specified using absolute
|
|
time or track-relative time (that is, as three-tuple or as
|
|
four-tuple), the pause will not be played.
|
|
|
|
Errors.
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
When an error occurs, an exception will be raised. Depending on where
|
|
the error occurs, the exception may either be "readcd.Error" or
|
|
"RuntimeError".
