playsound – Simple Audio Playback in Python

playsound is a lightweight Python library used to play sound files with just one line of code. It supports both Windows and macOS (and partially Linux) and works with most common audio formats like .mp3 and .wav. Since it has no dependencies and requires minimal setup, it’s perfect for adding sound effects, notifications, or background music to simple Python projects.
