I got an error in a shell script when I ran it with python, it said syntax

I had:
sudo aplay /home/pi/startup.wav
This usually runs from the command line.
I don't know whether you meant to just run this command or you meant to
run it as part of Python code.
Perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but Python is a programming language and
the Python interpreter is for running programs written in Python.
If all you want to do is execute this command, you can get a shell such as
sh or bash to run it.
Maybe give us some more information.
Oh and you may want to make your life a lot easier by getting sudo out of
the picture.
I don't have a pi running currently, but I'm guessing that your user
account lacks the needed permissions to read the file.
I would either add your user to a group which can read it or change the
permissions on the file so that your user can read it.
Cheers,
Geoff.
