Python playsound error, not recognized by MCI

Question

I am using soundplay library to play a sound with the python

However i got some error while doing so,

Here is the piece of code that should play the sound, by converting a string into audio file

import playsound # to play an audio file
import random
import os
from gtts import gTTS # google text to speech



# get string and make a audio file to be played
def speak(audio_string): 
    tts = gTTS(text=audio_string, lang='en-in') # text to speech(voice)
    r  = random.randint(1,20000000)  # random name
    audio_file = 'audio-' + str(r) + '.mp3' # audio file name
    tts.save(audio_file) # save as mp3
    playsound.playsound(audio_file) # play the audio file

    os.remove(audio_file) # remove audio file


speak("how can I help you")
