def winCommand(*command):
    buf = create_unicode_buffer(600)
    windll.winmm.mciSendStringW(' '.join(command), buf, 599, 0)
    return buf.value

musicURL = r"C:\Users\EpicCodeWizard\Downloads\in.wav"
songLenght = 9999
try:
    winCommand('open ' + musicURL)
    winCommand('play ' + musicURL)
    time.sleep(songLenght)
finally:
    winCommand('close ' + musicURL)

I have a windows computer, so this was easy to test. Using the windll.winmm library, this library can play sound. The sound plays asynchronously, so if the program doesn't sleep or do something else, the program will end, ending the music. This only works on wav, I am working on all file types.

I have an old Mac sitting at home, so I decided to use it. Instead of trying to use executables or other libraries, I just call the music from the pre-installed python 2.7. The python has PyObjC, so we don't need the user to install it. After 3 hours of hardwork, I finally got it to work.
