Description: # 🔊 Play sounds in Python scripts
        `play_sounds` provides a simple cross-platform API to play sounds in Python scripts. It includes a synchronous API and an equivalent asynchronous API.
        
        For code examples, you can check out [`onhold`](https://github.com/alexdelorenzo/onhold) and [`ding`](https://github.com/alexdelorenzo/ding), or scroll down to the [Usage section](https://github.com/alexdelorenzo/play_sounds#usage).
        
        # Rationale
        [`boombox`](https://pypi.org/project/boombox/) is great and 90% of the way there, however the default options for playing sounds on Windows are limited to WAV files. If the platform is Windows, `play_sounds` will default to the [`playsound`](https://pypi.org/project/playsound/) backend.
        
        # Installation
        
        ```bash
        python3 -m pip install play_sounds
        ```
        
        # Usage
        This library uses [`pathlib.Path` objects](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html#pathlib.Path) when pointing to filenames and paths. 
        
        There's a synchronous API and an asynchronous API that you can use with the `async/await` syntax and `asyncio`. 
        
        ## Synchronous API
        ### Play a file
        ```python
        from play_sounds import play_file, DEFAULT_SONG
        
        play_file(DEFAULT_SONG)  # blocks by default
        
        # play without blocking
        play_file(DEFAULT_SONG, block=False) 
        ```
        
        ### Play while work completes
        ```python
        from time import sleep
        from play_sounds import play_while_running, DEFAULT_SONG
        
        with play_while_running(DEFAULT_SONG):
          sleep(60)
        ```
        
        ### Play a file after work completes
        ```python
        from time import sleep
        from play_sounds import play_after, DEFAULT_SOUND
        
        with play_after(DEFAULT_SOUND):  # blocks by default
          sleep(60)
        
        # play without blocking
        with play_after(DEFAULT_SOUND, block=False):
          sleep(60)
        ```
        
        ## Asynchronous API
        To run the following examples with top-level `await` expressions, [launch an asynchronous Python REPL](https://www.integralist.co.uk/posts/python-asyncio/#running-async-code-in-the-repl) using `python3 -m asyncio`.
        
        ### Play a file
        ```python
        from play_sounds import play_file_async, DEFAULT_SONG
        
        await play_file_async(DEFAULT_SONG)  # blocks by default
        
        # play without blocking
        await play_file_async(DEFAULT_SONG, block=False) 
        ```
        
        ### Play while work completes
        ```python
        from asyncio import sleep
        from play_sounds import play_while_running_async, DEFAULT_SONG
        
        async with play_while_running(DEFAULT_SONG):
          await sleep(60)
        ```
        
        ### Play a file after work completes
        ```python
        from asyncio import sleep
        from play_sounds import play_after_async, DEFAULT_SOUND
        
        async with play_after_async(DEFAULT_SOUND):  # blocks by default
          await sleep(60)
        
        # play without blocking
        async with play_after_async(DEFAULT_SOUND, block=False):
          await sleep(60)
        ```
