python winsound_的Python：什么是winsound.Beep的最近的Linux和OSX等价物？

If one wishes to beep the speaker on Windows, Python 2 apparently provides a useful function: winsound.Beep(). The neat thing about this function is that it takes arguments specifying the exact frequency and duration of the beep. This is exactly what I want to do, except that I don't use Windows. So...

What are the nearest equivalents of winsound.Beep() for Linux and OSX, bringing in as few dependencies as possible?

Please note that I want to be able to beep the speaker directly, not to play a sound file. Also, I need to be able to control the frequency and duration of the beep, so curses.beep() and print '\a' won't do. Lastly, I am aware that PyGame provides extensive sound capabilities, but given that I don't require any of PyGame's other functionality, that would seem like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut (and anyway, I'm trying to do away with dependencies as far as possible).

It involves writing directly to /dev/audio. Not sure how portable it is or if it even works at all - i'm not on a linux machine atm.

def beep(frequency, amplitude, duration):

sample = 8000

half_period = int(sample/frequency/2)

beep = chr(amplitude)*half_period+chr(0)*half_period

beep *= int(duration*frequency)

audio = file('/dev/audio', 'wb')

audio.write(beep)

audio.close()
