FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/bin/python3'

Hello there, and thanks for the great library! (I love that it's cross platform and has no dependencies!)

I'm on NixOS 20.09. When I tried the basic example:

import playsound from playsound
playsound(AUDIO_FILE) # path to file

There was an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 34, in <module>

    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/bin/python3'

It looks like it's trying to use /usr/bin/python, which doesn't exist on my system. But even if it did, it would've still used the wrong python, since I'm running this from inside a virtual env. (The correct python would be the virtual env's python, that is, /home/cheshire/CODE/project/.venv/bin/python)

This might be fixed by locating the current python on the system (e.g. which python) and using that instead of a hard-coded /usr/bin/python3 value.

Hello,

Do you have gstreamer installed? I believe it’s part of the standard gnome desktop installation.

It wasn’t able to find the gi module, which should be installed in the system python if you have gstreamer, so it’s looking for the system Python.

Handling linux is difficult because there’s so many millions of different ways everything could be setup. For now, it’s more focused on Linux with gnome… in the future, I’d like to add in kde stuff, although that may be difficult to test in Travis-CI.

Oh, it looks like I misunderstood the error entirely. Thank you! Yeah, I'm using KDE, so that would be why.

Maybe I can try to add that support then. Do you happen to know how it would be implemented for KDE?

[TaylorSMarks]

I believe the name of KDE's media component is phonon. Take a look here for an example of it being used:

https://techbase.kde.org/Phonon/Python

The delayedInit method creates a Phonon.MediaObject and Phonon.AudioOutput and then links them together with Phonon.createPath(self.m_media, audioOutput). Then in the play method it uses setCurrentSource(Phonon.MediaSource(self.m_model.filePath(index)) and then calls play.

Check out playsound and try to modify it until you can get the unit tests (python test.py) to pass on your own machine.

Then I'd like .travis.yml to be modified so that Travis-CI is automatically testing that this runs on both gnome and kde (in addition to Mac and Windows).

Once it's all working, I'll be happy to look at a PR, pull it in, and make an updated release on pypi.

I am experiencing same error and I couldn't understand the solution. I understood that I need to install gstreamer in order to make plugins works. I tried to install it on backend python container but it failed via apt Here is the error trace

I tried to install pygobject but it failed to install

 pip install pygobject

My related code in service.py

from django.conf import settings
from playsound import playsound

def play_audio():
    return playsound(f'{settings.BASE_DIR}/media/example.mp3')

Related code in views.py

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import ListView
from .service import play_audio

class mainView(ListView):
    template_name = 'index.html'

    def get(self, request):
        context={"file":play_audio()}
        return render(request, self.template_name, context)

Related code in template/index.html

<html>
    <header>
        {% load static %}
        <title>website Title</title>
    </header>
    <body>
        <audio id="Player" autoplay>
            <source src="{{file}}"/>
        </audio>
    </body>
    <script src="{% static './script.js' %}" />
</html>

BASE_DIR value is /app and there is a file in both containers nginx and backend at the same path which is `media/example.mp3'

Eventually it will be via model layer
