Tolk not in requirements

braillescreen commented 3 years ago

Hello, Would like to first say I love how the code is layed out, I actually feel like I can understand this LOL. Secondly, I just wanted to note here that Tolk isn't in the requirements file.

Hi, it doesn't need to be. Tolk.py is right inside the directory. Is Tolk actually on Pypi?

No, apparently not. I just get the following when trying to run Quinter. Will include the entire error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "quinter.pyw", line 16, in <module>
    import speak
  File "C:\Users\Owner\Dropbox\git\quinter\speak.py", line 6, in <module>

FileNotFoundError: Could not find module 'Tolk' (or one of its dependencies). Try using the full path with constructor syntax.

Ah. I see your issue. You need to be using Python 3.7 or below. 3.8 and above horribly break Tolk's method of loading the DLL for some reason. I should probably add a venv so you can use py 3.7 without needing to reinstall, but have no idea how they work

Ah. Thanks.

OK, I've just pushed a change aiming to fix this. Does it work now?

Have gotten confirmation that it works, so closing this.
