[PyGame] Play Audio While continuing Gameplay

[apealunited]

I am new to game development.

I am making Snake game as my first game project. I want to play audio when snake eats food.

I tried doing using this:

from playsound import playsound
playsound("D:/Projects/Pygame/food.mp3")

When Snake eats food, sound is played but game freezes until sound is finished. How do i play sound and also continue gameplay at sametime? Do I need to use threading?
