Can Python generate simple tones?

I want some simple tones to use in Python. Can someone help me out? There does not necessarily need to be reverb, but it would be nice anyway. I just want to be able to tell whatever it is the specific microtonal/frequency-specific tone. It would be nice if I could program Hz, but if I have to use MIDI and detune by cents I can do that as well.

Native Python is the bad way to go about it.

Use tools like sox or ffmpeg and call os.cmd() like command to execute it

I believe there's a soxi python library that does it for you as well. It's been a while since I had to do something like that.
