On my Windows XP PRO SP2 system, the combination of

Python 2.4, pywin32-203.win32-py2.4, and pyTTS-3.0.win32-py2.4 did work. Updating to 2.4.1 broke pyTTS. Removing everythin, then installing 2.4.1, win32, and pyTTS resulted in the same failure. Removing everything again, and installing 2.4, win32, and pyTTS fixed it again.

The problem is that with 2.4.1 pyTTS reported that "SAPI" was not supported. Looking deeper I saw that it got a syntax error reading a generated com interface file.

Can you post the generated inferface file? Does this file contain long lines? Does it use a PEP-263 encoding directive?

I attached the generated interface file. Loading this file into python by itself does NOT generate an error, but going into the pyTTS dir, starting python, and typing "import sapi" shows:

There's no uploaded file! You have to check the checkbox labeled "Check to Upload & Attach File" when you upload a file.

Please try again.

(This is a SourceForge annoyance that we can do nothing about. :-( )

I think this is a duplicate of 1175396, so I'm closing the report.
