Playsound Installation
q4os is installed and working on an old Acer netbook. The Python3 script file runs fine but I need to add a simple audio alert. Playsound was my first choice but pip install playsound tells me the package can't be found. I have spent hours looking into this matter without success, hope someone here can help. Thanks.

Re: Playsound Installation
I was able to pip install playsound and also pip download playsound. I'm using python 3.9.
playsound is no more maintained. You could use playsound3.
Not sure, but I suspect playsound needs python <= 3.9, although playsound3 works up to python 3.7 -> 3.12.

Re: Playsound Installation
I am using Python 3.11 and will see if playsound3 works. Can you recommend a better replacement package for either generating a tone based warning or mp3/wav playback?

Re: Playsound Installation
Starting with python 3.11 (coming with Q4OS 5), pip install package will work only within a venv (for packages integrity reasons).
Sorry, no idea for another package. You are more likely to get an answer on a forum dedicated to python.
