   Perhaps because Python's cross-platform code is often a
reimplementation of standard protocols (libraries such as http.py or
smtp.py) and Python's libraries are usually thin wrappers over operating
system libraries. Some OS libraries are cross-platform (e.g., libz) but
with audio you've touched a darker area. Are there cross-platform audio
libraries that Python could wrap?
   Also it is because nobody has proposed a patch. Wanna be the
champion?
