. . . .. . . . .. . .
. .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . Aside: langid.py Distinguish between languages in text form

Aside: langid.py Distinguish between languages in text form ผู้สื่อข่าวไทยวิเคราะห์นโยบายผู้ขอลี้ภัยพรรคต่างๆ >>> import langid >>> langid.classify(l.encode(’utf8’)) (’th’, 1.0) >>> langid.classify(’¡Venga hombre!’) (’es’, 0.5726778160604622)

First attempt: streaming radio ▶ There’s lots of internet radio out there! ▶ But it’s all in shitty old formats ▶ And Python support for decoding them all is not great ▶ Solution: sh module and mplayer ▶ Still too hard!
. . . .. . . . .. . .
. .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. . . . .. . . . .. . Second attempt: scrape SBS ▶ Podcasts News podcasts in about 70 languages ▶ Good quality recordings! ▶ (Sometimes) daggy Australian accents ▶ Fetching: pyquery, requests and parse ▶ Processing audio: wave + sh wrapping avconv and mp3gain ▶ Success!
. . . .. . . . .. . .

Aside: sh Wraps shell calls like a boss! >>> from sh import ffmpeg >>> ffmpeg(’-i’, input_file, output_file) >>> from sh import mp3gain >>> mp3gain(’-r’, ’-k’, ’-t’, ’-s’, ’r’, sound_file)
