8 years ago Sorry I missed this last time. Put an "r" in front of the string, e.g.,
playNamed(r"C:\Users\Steve\RMIT\SP4 2015\CPT120\mediasources-4ed\mediasources-4ed\airplane.wav")
See top of page 67 in the book. The backslash characters are being interpreted as other characters, which makes the filename invalid, so you don't actually create the sound.

Hello there, I've been working on Program 5 in chapter 2 of "Introduction to computing and programming in Python." However, there seems to be a problem using sound files that results in a strange error message. Here is the code I typed:
def playNamed(myFile): mySound = makeSound(myFile) play (mySound)
After saving and loading the file I typed the following into the command window:
playNamed("C:\Users\Steve\RMIT\SP4 2015\CPT120\mediasources-4ed\mediasources-4ed\airplane.wav")
I then get the following error message:
There is no file at C:\Users\Steve\RMIT\SP4 2015\CPT120\mediasources-4ed\mediasources-4ed?irplane.wav The error value is: Inappropriate argument value (of correct type). An error occurred attempting to pass an argument to a function. Please check line 2 of C:\Users\Steve\RMIT\SP4 2015\CPT120\Txt_Bk_Chp_2\Code\playNamed.py
I used copy/paste from the command window to make sure I had the correct filename, but it appears that part of the filename is missing from the error message (the '\a' is missing from 'airplane.wav' at the end of the filename in the error message). This error message occurs when I use other .wav files too. However, the same problem does not occur with JPEG files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The JES version details I'm using are outlined below.
