One reason that I have come across:<br /><br />- if you are running the program from an IDE such as PyCharm, IDLE or other, it may not beep.<br /><br />chr(7) acting as the ASCII BEL character (which causes the console to beep) is only guaranteed to work on real consoles, i.e. old-style dumb terminals like VT100 (that were used with Unix, VMS, etc.), or close software emulations of a dumb terminal, like a Linux terminal program (xterm/konsole/...) or a Windows DOS command prompt. Don't know about Max OS X since I don't use it, but probably works with Terminal.) The same may hold true for some other control characters (characters with ASCII codes between 0 and 31 inclusive), of which BEL is one, as are form feed (FF), VT (vertical tab), etc. ... i.e. they will not have the same effect in non-terminal environments that they do in terminal environments. They might just show up as some graphic character, or have no effect, depending on how the IDE/etc. handles them.<br /><br />Google ASCII table or see ascii-table.com.<br /><br /><br /><br />Vasudev Ramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568740634188042591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6692866151143183230.post-65877010553311342002015-10-25T20:47:00.821+05:302015-10-25T20:47:00.821+05:30FYI, Unfortunately, print(chr(7)) does not create ...FYI, Unfortunately, print(chr(7)) does not create a sound on some computers. In my case, it works fine on a Dell deskside, but does nothing on my Thinkpad. <br /><br />DanZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
