How do I play a .wav file using Tkinter on Mac?

Question

I am trying to get a laughing track to play whenever you die in my text adventure game, I am using Python but since I have no clue how to use Tkinter on Python. I never used TKinter so I need some help. If you are wondering where the file is, It is in a folder I named Sound Files.

The [TKinter help page has a HelloWorld](https://docs.python.org/2/library/tkinter.html), did you try it? — Eduardo Santana, Dec 19 '15 at 18:08
Search web or pypi.python.org for something like 'python play sound'. The sound functions in pygame are one possibility. — Terry Jan Reedy, Dec 19 '15 at 19:51

Use winsound - it's built in.

import winsound

winsound.PlaySound('laugh.wav', winsound.SND_FILENAME)

I will wager a guess and say there is not built-in facility for playing audio. I would suggest reviewing older answers to similar question: Play audio with Python

UPDATE

I see I was wrong. Python 3 appears to have some facilities: 22. Multimedia Services — Python 3.5.1 documentation

I believe you were right the first time. The 'audio' modules read and write sound files in various formats, but do not play them through a speaker (unless writing to a sound device works). – Terry Jan Reedy Dec 19 '15 at 19:52
