Sound alarm when code finishes

Question

I am in a situation where my code takes extremely long to run and I don t want to be staring at it all the time but want to know when it is done   How can I make the  Python  code sort of sound an  alarm  when it is done  I was contemplating making it play a  wav file when it reaches the end of the code      Is this even a feasible idea   If so  how could I do it

This one seems to work on both Windows and Linux   from this question    def beep        print   a    beep     In Windows  can put at the end   import winsound winsound Beep 500  1000   where 500 is the frequency in Herz       1000 is the duration in miliseconds   To work on Linux  you may need to do the following  from QO s comment     in a terminal  type  cd  etc modprobe d  then  gksudo gedit blacklist conf  comment the line that says  blacklist pcspkr   then reboot check also that the terminal preferences has the  Terminal Bell  checked
