I was trying to install pydub to play a sound on one of my projects and when I finally got to the point where I was supposed to type in pip install pydub, I got smacked in the face with this red wall of error. Could someone please help me install pydub trough any means, regardless if it's pip or not.

Sailendrans-MacBook-Pro:~ Sai$ pip install pydub
