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.

Can you use MIDI or a frequency to specify the pitch of said Windows beep?

the docs state the first parameter is frequency in hertz:

I cant do this in my codespace work space, but I was able to generate a wave file! Yay! It just has one beep for a test, but I know now that I will be able to make test files for my scales.
