I get this error too (on Ubuntu 19.10). I don't know why but sometimes installing it gives a different error saying PyObjC requires MacOS to build. pyobjc looks like it's an objective-C bridge so might the problem be our using linux and Windows? I've installed it before on linux.

hmm same error i am also getting

[hembhagat99]

I am also getting the same error. Please solve this error as soon as possible

[hembhagat99]

I also figured out that this problem occurs in the latest version. I installed pyttsx3 version 2.7 and there where no errors. So, I request the maintainers of this project to have a look at the latest version. I don't know from which version this error starts. But it is present in the latest version.

You can temporarily work with version 2.7. Just run this command, pip install pyttsx3==2.7

hmm it worked

@thesantoshprajapati can u please try installing 2.80 or 2.81 and see if they are working ?

[amerizalde]

I had the same issue using "pip install pyttsx3". Tried it with "==2.81" and it installed just fine. I tried "==2.83" and "==2.84" and both fail with the same error as listed above.

[nateshmbhat]

OK I will revert back to commit corresponding to 2.81

[nateshmbhat]

I have applied the fix for this issue : Latest release is 2.87. Just install the latest release with pip install pyttsx3 and please let me know if it fixed the issue.

I tried installing the latest release. The error goes away but another KeyError occurs. This is the error : File "/home/gurleen/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyttsx3/init.py", line 20, in init eng = _activeEngines[driverName] File "/usr/lib/python3.6/weakref.py", line 137, in getitem o = self.data [key] () KeyError: None

[nateshmbhat]

This might be related to right engine driver not being found 🤔
