Why sfml does not play the file inside a function in this python code?

Perhaps what's happening is that sonido starts playing it and then
returns, meaning that there's no longer a reference to it ('file' is
local to the function), so it's collected by the garbage collector.

If that's the case, try keeping a reference to it, perhaps by making
'file' global (in a simple program like this one, using global should
be OK).
