Need help quick please!

[lchristy0213]

I just started programming and I'm trying to get python to read a txt file and then turn the letters in the file into notes with certain frequencies, and then create a wav file. I'm doing ok but could really use some help. Thank you in advance. This is what I have:

noteFileName=raw_input("What file are the notes in?")
noteFile=open(noteFileName,'r')

song=[]
for line in noteFile:
print line
tone=[10000*sin(i*freq*2*pi/44100) for i in range(int(1.0*44100))]

if line[0]=="A":
freq=440.00
elif line[0]=="B":
freq=493.88
elif line[0]=="C":
freq=261.63
elif line[0]=="D":
freq=293.66
elif line[0]=="E":
freq=329.63
elif line[0]=="F":
freq=349.23
elif line[0]=="G":
freq=392.00
elif line[0]=="R":
freq=0.00
elif line[0]=="c":
freq=523.25
elif line[0]=="d":
freq=587.33
elif line[0]=="e":
freq 659.26



song=song=tone

outputWAV=makewave("notes.wav",44100)
for sample in song:
outputWAV.record(sample,0)
outputWAV.close()

I keep getting an error after the last .26 frequency.

Please use code tags. It is difficult to follow your code without them. Why do you do this:

range(int(1.0*44100))

It's the same thing as:

range(44100)

Use a dictionary to determine freq:

freqDict = {'A': 440.00, "B": 493.88, "C": 261.63, "D": 293.66, \
            "E": 329.63, "F": 349.23, "G": 392.00, "R": 0.00, \
            "c": 523.25, "d": 587.33, "e": 659.26}

Your code could not possibly work because freq is used before it is assigned a value.
What is the following supposed to do?

song=song=tone

Maybe you want to do something like this:

freqDict = {'A': 440.00, "B": 493.88, "C": 261.63, "D": 293.66, \
            "E": 329.63, "F": 349.23, "G": 392.00, "R": 0.00, \
            "c": 523.25, "d": 587.33, "e": 659.26}
 
notes = ['D', 'B', 'e', 'E', 'F']
toneList = [10000*sin(i*freqDict[note]*2*pi/44100) for i in range(1, 44100) for note in notes]
