pyttsx3 fails to execute when compiled

I think I already tried what was suggested in that thread, but I'll give it another look.

[orazdow]

I'm having the same problem on windows, if anyone has found a solution please let me know

[josephalway]

The No module named 'pyttsx3.drivers' error seems to be an issue with PyInstaller not importing the module loaded with importlib. The old version of pyttsx has a hook file created for use with pyttsx in the Pyinstaller hooks folder. I created a copy for pyttsx3 and added pyttsx3. to drivers, drivers.sapi5, etc. That seems to load the pyttsx3.drivers module fine, but now I am running into a win32com.client error.

(This seems to fix the import error and could just be added to your .spec file for your project.) The hook I edited for PyInstaller just adds the following to whatever_my_project_is.spec file:

hiddenimports = [ 'pyttsx3.drivers', 'pyttsx3.drivers.dummy', 'pyttsx3.drivers.espeak', 'pyttsx3.drivers.nsss', 'pyttsx3.drivers.sapi5', ]

Again, I just copied the hook-pyttsx.py file in the hooks directory, made a copy named hook-pyttsx3.py in the PyInstaller folder for the hooks and added "pyttsx3." to the hidden imports.

There's also a link in the Pyinstaller hook file for work done on this same issue for the older version of pyttsx. pyinstaller and pyttsx

The New Error I am now seeing involves the use of the win32com.client package. Error when trying to run the compiled file:

Anyone care to take a stab at getting the win32com error fixed?

Example of what fixes the No module named pyttsx3.drivers error:

These are the key lines: from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules my_hidden_imports = collect_submodules('pyttsx3') hiddenimports=my_hidden_imports,

This is a .spec file I created that collects all of the pyttsx3 submodules:

# -*- mode: python -*-
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
block_cipher = None

my_hidden_imports = collect_submodules('pyttsx3')

[josephalway]

Success! Commenting out all of the lines in the pyinstaller hook file pyi_rth_win32comgenpy.py fixes the last issue. I'm sure there's a more elegant solution. I'll post an issue on pyinstaller and link it here.
