Using only the modules that come with a standard python 2.6 installation, would it be possible to play a simple beeping noise?
On windows:
import winsound # for sound
import time # for sleep
winsound.Beep(440, 250) # frequency, duration
time.sleep(0.25) # in seconds (0.25 is 250ms)
winsound.Beep(600, 250)
time.sleep(0.25)
