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?

So it depends on your system, the following will work for windows:
import winsound
winsound.Beep(300,2000)
where a is the frequency and b is the duration in miliseconds
this is for linux:
import os
os.system('play --no-show-progress --null --channels 1 synth %s sine %f' % ( a, b))
where a is the duration in seconds and b is the frequency
and something really cool if you're using a mac in terminal, maybe can do the same in windows, but I only know for sure for mac, this will tell you it's done:
import os
os.system('say "your program has finished"')
note: in order to use the first linux example, you must install sox. Here is the macports way of doing that...run this is your terminal:
sudo port install sox
