http://www.python.org/doc/1.5.2p2/lib/module-winsound.html

import winsound
winsound.PlaySound(".Default", winsound.SND_ALIAS | winsound.SND_ASYNC)

Other sounds are available:
  "SystemAsterisk"
  "SystemExclamation"
  "SystemQuestion"
  "MailBeep"
  ...

There's a list in your registry somewhere; search for SystemAsterisk.
Use SND_FILENAME instead of SND_ALIAS if you want to specify which
WAV file to play.
