Example Use

import beepy
beep(sound=1) # integer as argument
beep(sound='coin') # string as argument

Requirements

Currently, beepy only runs on Python 3.

beepy relies on a Python package called simpleaudio which can be also be installed using: pip install simpleaudio.

Installation

To install, type: pip install beepy.

Following are the mappings for the numbers: 1 : 'coin', 2 : 'robot_error', 3 : 'error', 4 : 'ping', 5 : 'ready', 6 : 'success', 7 : 'wilhelm'

• beepr The main motivation behind this package is another R package by the name of beepr. I could not find an equivalent for Python, so decided to make my own version of it. You can learn more about beepr here.

• simpleaudio This package is built on top of another package named simpleaudio, and would not be possible in its absence. While it is largely based on simpleaudio, beepy is not meant to replace the simpleaudio package. My sincere thanks to hamiltron for creating simpleaudio.
