See this page for how to do that in WxPython:

To translate that code to Tkinter, you would use frame.winfo_id() to
get the window handle instead of wxpython's GetHandle().

But these are both basically just hacks.  Options for multimedia
playing/editing are slim in python.  You might use Java instead (see
jython), using either the java media framework or quicktime for java
(latter doesn't work on Linux).
