Yes, like this:
import os
os.system("""osascript 'say "hello"'""")
The problem is that say does not honor vo settings. For instance, vo uses
Serena on my system, but my default voice is Alex, so I know the difference
(particularly helpful in chess). I want to use vo itself so that all settings
are used, regardless of the system's defaults. I know it can be done, as this
output command is in vo's dictionary in script editor, I just don't know the
right syntax to use.
