[Python] Playsound only plays the mp3 file once and then gives the error "Permission Denied"

I am using Playsound and gtts in Spyder IDE which creates an mp3 file and then plays it.

import gtts
from playsound import playsound
#pass text to gTTS object

# make request to google to get synthesis
english = gtts.gTTS("Hello world") #retrieved the actual audio speech from the API

# save the audio file
english.save("hello.mp3")
# play the audio file
playsound("hello.mp3")


It plays fine the first time but then shows this every time I run it:

File "C:\Users\ASUS\.spyder-py3\all codes\Text2Speech.py", line 27, in <module>
english.save("hello.mp3")

File "C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\gtts\tts.py", line 312, in save
with open(str(savefile), 'wb') as f:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'hello.mp3'


It works fine again after I restart Spyder, then again doesn't work after playing only once. My OS is Windows 10, Playsound version 1.2.2
