For win there's winsound, you have to check sys.platform and do what's necessary for the platform in question. In linux I think you can just print '\a' (or does that only work in terminals?). If you know that ext. speakers are always on, you can do a nicer beep by using some wav file, in linux it's probably easiest to use an external program to play it, like wavplay. Basically, there is no single answer, it depends on circumstances. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
