Subject: Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Still Unable to get my Python program working on the mac


I tried pyttsx on a Mac running 10.5.8:

% ls
MANIFEST.in README pyttsx setup.cfg
PKG-INFO docs pyttsx.egg-info setup.py
% python setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 18, in <module>
   from ez_setup import use_setuptools
ImportError: No module named ez_setup
%

So I opened up setup.py, and removed the two lines that read:

from ez_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()

Then, "python setup.py build", and "python setup.py install".

Then:

% python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun 17 2009, 20:37:34)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import pyttsx
eng = pyttsx.init()
eng.say("hello hello hello")
eng.runAndWait()
# and "hello hello hello" comes out of the speakers


Seems to work.  No additional downloads needed.

Hi,
I have found an example that uses CTypes and the NSSpeechSynthesizer, but it doesn't seem to work. (I am not getting any errors) . The only feature we really need from this file is the SpeakString() and the stopping of speech. You can find the example here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/pythonmac-sig@python.org/msg02231.html
As I indicated in my previous message I commented out of all the speech related stuff and the app worked. So I'm assuming it's the combination of PyObjC and wx.

Mike
