Just a quick tip if you're bored with the standard sound effects that are included with Pythonista:

You can actually use a lot of standard iOS sound effects as well (e.g. the various text message sounds). Here's how:

import os
import sound
import time

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk('/System/Library/Audio/UISounds'):
    for f in filenames:
        if f.endswith('.caf'):
            full_path = os.path.join(dirpath, f)
            sound.play_effect(full_path)
            time.sleep(1)

As of iOS 7.1, there are 99 of them. Have fun!

Any hope for future support for playing music?

http://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/post/6155976625356800 change the file extension from .mp3 to .caf... It would probably be a cool update to Pythonista if it played .mp3 files without requiring that you change the file extension to .caf.

Ha. Nice. It's just fun to play that script and hear them all.

Here a list of some sounds with there names http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki//System/Library/Audio/UISounds

# Change the phone number below and then hold your iOS device next

phone_number_to_dial = '0081787881218'  # '12345#,765#,*'

import os, sound, time

fmt = '/System/Library/Audio/UISounds/dtmf-{}.caf'

def dial_number(in_phone_number = phone_number_to_dial):
    def dial_digit(in_digit):
        if in_digit == ',':  # a comma is a 2 second pause
            time.sleep(2)
        else:
            sound.play_effect(fmt.format(in_digit))
            time.sleep(0.3)  # changes the dial speed

    print('Dialing: %s' % in_phone_number)
    in_phone_number = in_phone_number.replace('#', 'pound').replace('*', 'star')
    for digit in in_phone_number:
        dial_digit(digit)

dial_number(phone_number_to_dial)

Haha, awesome!

Our future people have changed music is now free for everyone
