Segmentation Error Mac M1 Processors

[steelliberty]

Macbook Pro with M1 Max processor Monterey 12.6 OS

simple results from command line error -- no stack trace just "segmentation error 11".

Anyway to work around this outside of getting an intel mac?

[Jiangshan00001]

have no idea. maybe you could try this :

pip install pyttsx4

import pyttsx4 engine = pyttsx4.init() engine.save_to_file('i am Hello World', 'test1.wav') engine.runAndWait()

Thanks for reporting, I also see this issue.

The error occurs when running init to create the engine.

>>> engine = pyttsx3.init()
zsh: segmentation fault python

[steelliberty]

Thank you for the quick response.

I did a new environment and installed pyttsx4, and used 3.10.11

Same results no stack trace, just a machine hardware type error : Process finished with exit code 139 (interrupted by signal 11: SIGSEGV)

And outside of pycharm, I got : zsh: segmentation fault python3 main.py

maybe it is a nss driver error. could you try : import pyttsx4 engine = pyttsx4.init('espeak') engine.save_to_file('i am Hello World', 'test1.wav') engine.runAndWait()

[steelliberty]

we need something -- error KeyError: 'espeak'

I get this same issue on the M1 Mac, I tried reverting to an older version of Python (3.4, 3.5, 3.6) and neither of these seemed to work. I get the same issue of

zsh: segmentation fault python3 main.py

with no stack trace.

Is there any work being done to try and fix this issue?

zsh: segmentation fault  python3 -q -X faulthandler

It's looks like memory access problem. I have the same issue with Apple and Intel MacBooks

[steelliberty]

Thank you for the research. Hopefully, we get this fixed soon.

i have check the error, and it seems the pyobjc version problem.

the problem happens when pyobjc version is 9.1.1.

pip install pyobjc==9.0.1 fix the problem.

try and see.

further more: https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/pyobjc/issues/551 pyobjc with version 9.1.1 has a Segmentation fault bug. it is fixed in version 9.2 https://pyobjc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html

let's waitting for the 9.2 version or just use old 9.0.1 version.

I was getting the same "Segmentation Fault" running on an intel i5 MacBook pro. Upgrading the pyobjc as above fixed the issue for me as well!

Many thanks!
