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
