You can call SOX from Python, Bash, .bat .exe and anything else you can 
access the code with.

It happens to be written in C.

I use SOX to apply equalisation to audio, removing hum and hiss, then 
apply multi band leveling to achieve a consistent audio output from 
multi sourced speech items.

Input audio here comes in many formats. SOX is used to output consistent 
wav bitrate. The transcoding loss is acceptable for speech.

Opening and closing audio is then added with fade out and fade in on cue.

In another application I use SOX to edit a news bulletin out of an audio 
stream based on the silence between time signal pips [head] and the 
mandatory silence at the end [tail] Its unbelievably accurate.

While the scripting is a subject on it's own, SOX has a huge array of 
options, well documented with many examples published on line.

Of all the audio processing tools available SOX is the one I use most often.
