Integrate playsound module about tukaan HOT 7 CLOSED

Why is it needed to be integrated into tukaan itself? Just run playsound asynchronously (with the second parameter set to False, as suggested in the playsound's readme), this way it will not block the main thread.

Well i just thought it would be useful

Maybe, if you specify what kind of integration do you mean, it would be clearer. From my perspective, it is easy to use playsound as is, as a separate package, without any additional integration.

As an example, what needs some kind of integration is pystray, because there is no clear and obvious way how to add a tray icon when you use tkinter or tukaan. There is some workaround on StackOverflow, but as far as I remember I had some problems with this approach on Linux.

Well, I'm not going to integrate the playsound module, for several reasons.

1. playsound has only one function, which isn't a big deal to import from there instead of Tukaan
2. playsound advertises itself as no dependencies required, which is not true. On Linux you need the PyGObject package, which is a huge dependency
3. playsound is dumb. It has only one function, which doesn't allow you to stop the music, edit it, or do anything useful with it.
4. I have a MUCH better idea for sound support in Tukaan

@insolor I'm not sure in Pystray either.
It's a pain to get it working with Tkinter, since both have their own mainloops that block each other.

I might just implement the tk systray feature that's in Tk 8.7, although it would be nice to find a way to make Tukaan and Pystray work well together.

But mac dosent have Tcl 8.7 unless you use annaconda, right?

I won't add support for Tcl/Tk 8.7 until they release the stable version, so I don't think that's a problem.
