I created a basic music playing script with python 3.6 and pygame

import pygame
from pygame import mixer

pygame.mixer.init()
mixer.music.load(r'Z:\path_to_wav')
mixer.music.play()

and while this plays alright when i open it from IDLE and execute with F5, it doesn't play if i double click the .py file.

I suspect it is because of the fact that the python (black cmd-like) window opens and closes instantly when you run a .py file. I find it similar to the song stopping when closing the IDLE window when running it from there.

Try navigating to the file and opening it using the command-prompt – RonaldB Jan 28 '17 at 21:42
still nothing. i double checked i did everything right by adding other things to the script like launching an .exe and it did that but still no audio – herc Jan 28 '17 at 22:00
run `python script.py` in cmd.exe and maybe you see some error message. – furas Jan 28 '17 at 22:00
aren't you saying the same as Ronald ? – herc Jan 28 '17 at 22:08
running the .py in cmd doesnt give an error or anything, just plays everything else but the audio – herc Jan 30 '17 at 02:21
