Subject: Re: [Pythonmac-SIG] Still Unable to get my Python program working
on the mac
Mike, I looked back at your messages. I find that things work best on
the Mac when I don't try to install things that Apple has already
installed -- just my experience. Once you start doing that, you've
almost got to take a couple of months and understand everything from
source.
There are also some red flags in your messages. Using a non-Apple
version of Python on OS X is one, downloading a new version of PyObjC is
a second, using easy_install (for anything) a third. Mixing PyObjC with
Wx is a fourth, because it introduces issues about the event loop, but
less red, because it is certainly doable.
My advice would be to try getting this pyttsx module to work by itself,
using the system Python on a vanilla OS X machine, first. Only then
make life complicated.
Good luck!
Bill
Thakns, we think we figured out that it's WX and Pyttsx not working right
together. Apparently, there's a way to have Pyttsx use ctypes. We found some
stuff at
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSSpeechSynthesizer_Class/Reference/Reference.html
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1490039/calling-objective-c-functions-from-python
We can't seem to get it working though. How would we do this?
Mike
