Python bug fix help

[crypture]

I wonder if a python expert can help me. I have this .py file i'm trying to run on OSX 10.11.6 but when i try to run the file whilst in the same directory i get this error

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wavtotext.py", line 24, in <module>
    w = wave.open(fileName, 'r')
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/wave.py", line 511, in open
    return Wave_read(f)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/wave.py", line 164, in __init__
    self.initfp(f)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/wave.py", line 144, in initfp
    self._read_fmt_chunk(chunk)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/wave.py", line 274, in _read_fmt_chunk
    raise Error, 'unknown format: %r' % (wFormatTag,)
wave.Error: unknown format: 3

 
file.py

Code:

import wave
import math
import struct

bitDepth = 8#target bitDepth
frate = 44100#target frame rate

fileName = "musicfile.wav"#file to be imported (change this)

#read file and get data
w = wave.open(fileName, 'r')
numframes = w.getnframes()

frame = w.readframes(numframes)#w.getnframes()

frameInt = map(ord, list(frame))#turn into array

#separate left and right channels and merge bytes
frameOneChannel = [0]*numframes#initialize list of one channel of wave
for i in range(numframes):
    frameOneChannel[i] = frameInt[4*i+1]*2**8+frameInt[4*i]#separate channels and store one channel in new list
    if frameOneChannel[i] > 2**15:
        frameOneChannel[i] = (frameOneChannel[i]-2**16)
    elif frameOneChannel[i] == 2**15:
        frameOneChannel[i] = 0
    else:
        frameOneChannel[i] = frameOneChannel[i]

#convert to string
audioStr = ''
for i in range(numframes):
    audioStr += str(frameOneChannel[i])
    audioStr += ","#separate elements with comma

fileName = fileName[:-3]#remove .wav extension
text_file = open(fileName+"txt", "w")
text_file.write("%s"%audioStr)
text_file.close()

Can someone help to get this working please ?

Did you even google it? The very first SO answer is accurate

Python's wave module works with a specific type of WAV: PCM (WAVE_FORMAT_PCM: 0x0001).

In your case, you're using a WAV of type WAVE_FORMAT_GSM610 [0x0031 = hex(49)].

You can use a program like Audacity or some lib for converting codecs to change the type of the WAV file.

You can see a list of WAV types here: https://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/vlc__codecs_8h.html

Python's wave module source code: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/wave.py

If you need help with converting the formats or editing the WAV files, I can help.

I did do a search but i did not find that. But thank you in any case.

Are you familiar with the program processing ?
