RATE/CHUNK is an integer, but TIME when extracted from sys.argv is a str. The * operator tells python to repeat the string RATE/CHUNK times: >>> RATE = 44100 >>> CHUNK = 1024 >>> TIME = "2" >>> RATE/CHUNK * TIME '2222222222222222222222222222222222222222222' You need to convert TIME to an int before evaluating the expression to get the expected result: >>> RATE/CHUNK * int(TIME) 86 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
