I want to know how to get samples out of a .wav file in order to perform windowed join of two .wav files.
Can any one please tell how to do this?
The wave module of the standard library is the key: after of course import wave at the top of your code, wave.open('the.wav', 'r') returns a "wave read" object from which you can read frames with the .readframes method, which returns a string of bytes which are the samples... in whatever format the wave file has them (you can determine the two parameters relevant to decomposing frames into samples with the .getnchannels method for the number of channels, and .getsampwidth for the number of bytes per sample).
The best way to turn the string of bytes into a sequence of numeric values is with the array module, and a type of (respectively) 'B', 'H', 'L' for 1, 2, 4 bytes per sample (on a 32-bit build of Python; you can use the itemsize value of your array object to double-check this). If you have different sample widths than array can provide you, you'll need to slice up the byte string (padding each little slice appropriately with bytes worth 0) and use the struct module instead (but that's clunkier and slower, so use array instead if you can).
