Some fun to be had. To start with try this:

import ossaudiodev

from ossaudiodev import AFMT_S16_LE

from Numeric import *

dsp = ossaudiodev.open('w')

dsp.setfmt(AFMT_S16_LE)

dsp.channels(2)

dsp.speed(22050)

i = 0

x = raw_input("length: ")

x = int(x)

a = arange(x)

while 1:

        # between 200 and 600 is good

        while i < x:

                i = i +1

                b = a[i:]

                dsp.writeall(str(b))

                print i,":",x

        else:

                while i !=0:

                        i = i -1

                        b = a[i:]

                        dsp.writeall(str(b))

                        print i,":",x

it's harder than you think!

here it is in python ported from some Java i found online.

here's a wifi access point brower i wrote in python for Linux users that prefer to use console applications. i
'll get around to one that roams and pumps based on the best offer.

here's a little python script to let you know when your laptop battery is running low.
