Mac VoiceLanguage is now VoiceLocaleIdentifier #9

Closed turtlegraphics closed 11 years ago

turtlegraphics commented 11 years ago

pyttsx 1.0 was working fine for me on a Mac running Lion. Then I added some new I18n voices (via the Dictation & Speech) control panel, and pyttsx started crashing on the getProperty('voices') call, making it essentially unusable. Version 1.1 of pyttsx has the same bug.

I traced the error to line 70 of drivers/nsss.py, where it has attr['VoiceLanguage'], which is now deprecated. Changing this to attr['VoiceLocaleIdentifier'] fixed the problem. It appears VoiceLanguage was deprecated in OSX10.5, and now has actually ceased to exist for some voices.

Thanks for the report and fix. I pushed it to the master branch with a fallback on the old VoiceLanguage property for older OS X versions.
