@edgar you're completely right. I just fixed the gist. The problem wasn't caused by refactoring though, but by being not careful enough when typing the filenames in gist while looking at my phone for how I defined them :P

RE: File parts error running apps via home shorcut
Can you include a snippet of your code, and the way you attempt to view that path? Do you use
os.path.expanduser
for example? Based on the image I would say you're trying to call a path relative to a directory, but when running from the shortcut it might not know how to find it. It's safer to call it relative from the user directory, then useos.path.expanduser
to solve the path. -
RE: Using Siri voices in Speech module
@cvp yes you're right I'm still getting used to the names here on the forum. Definitely a big thank you to @jonb for this work too.
It's still a WIP, and I can't guarantee the interface won't change. Consider it alpha at this point. Segfaults with "logical" operations have been fixed (Do not attempt to access a class from
ObjCInstance
instead ofObjCClass
, because it will segfault; and on that same note, do not attempt to write with theobjc_utils
module when tired), but any testing beyond that has still to be done. Documentation is incomplete too. onlyAVSpeechSynthesisVoice
is pretty complete at this point, but I'm considering a couple method name changes in a more pythonic style. Who knows... Either way have fun in case you want to try it: https://gist.github.com/boisei0/08e6f9f619e8c045ba08dae100e63b17 Dump all those files in a folder namedav_speech
in your site-packages, then import it like the sample above. -
RE: Can you develop apps for Pythonista iPad on a Mac then port across?
@hmartin I might try adding the
ui
andscene
stubs later as well. Got to admit I haven't used them so far, so that's going to be a bit of practice first before I can confidently stub them. (I'm boisei0 on github) -
RE: Using Siri voices in Speech module
I am currently working on a high level Python interface to the AVSpeechUtterance/AVSpeechSynthesizer/AVSpeechSynthesisVoice triad. To do so, I'm creating Python classes that bridge the access to the Objective-c classes, following the Apple Documentation. The low level classes are just about directly bridging the objc classes to Python, with a method on each of them to convert the python instance back to an
ObjCInstance
. On top of that, a high level interface will be created that functions similar tospeech.say
, but running directly onobjc_util
. Means that to use it you can follow the top level interface, without worrying about the objective-c classes in the backend.I'm currently halfway through the low level Python classes, hoping to release to PyPI (Python 3 only though) later this week.
@cvp thanks for the research you've already did on this, it's on that snippet I've been able to figure the rest out :)Edit: Quick prototype for the high level interface works nicely together, here's a sample of how the code above would look like (though it will get a couple naming upgrades and more configuration options):
import av_speech speech = av_speech.AVSpeech() voices = av_speech.AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.get_speech_voices() for voice in voices: print(voice) speech.set_voice(av_speech.AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.voice_with_identifier('com.apple.ttsbundle.siri_male_en-AU_compact')) speech.say('Hello, I'm the voice of the Australian male of Siri')
Alternative for the set_voice line is
speech.set_voice(av_speech.AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.voice_with_language('en-AU', av_speech.AVSpeechSynthesisVoiceGender.MALE))
, so it is easy to configure.
