In addition to Tim's suggestion, try replacing the last 2 lines with:
import pythoncom
pythoncom.PumpMessages()
You will need to press Ctrl+C to terminate the script, but if the sound
plays, it means your original code does not have a message loop (while IDLE
does). google for python and message loop and you should find lots of
messages with more detail.
