struct is not a documented part of the wave module.

wave imports several other stdlib modules. All are accessible the same 
way.  None are documented or included in wave.__all__.  Some modules, 
typically more recently written or edited, do things like

import struct as _struct

to avoid such leakage of import.  But this is a nuisance to write and 
read.  Best to stick with the documented api.
