PyCharm could be a good alternative

Up to date pre-installed modules

@ihf check this and try something similar to check if it works https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15750711/connecting-to-sql-server-2012-using-sqlalchemy-and-pyodbc

I think that erasing a Pythonista build-in module is not possible, remember that python has a weird importing system so if you have a script/folder called speech in the same folder of your main script maybe you are importing it instead of the build in one. (python import order is: current dir, ... , site-packages, build-in) but If that is not the case, I think a fresh install of Pythonista could work

@cvp, you are right, using 0 fixes it, did you find anyway to fix the false positives that is_paused and is_speaking functions return?

@lyubomyr83, I made this class to make it easier to work with the reference @ccc is pointing to, all could be done thanks to the work of @JonB

import objc_util
import re


class SpeechModule(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.__AVSpeechUtterance = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechUtterance')
        self.__AVSpeechSynthesizer = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechSynthesizer')
        self.__AVSpeechSynthesisVoice = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechSynthesisVoice')
        self.__synthesizer = self.__AVSpeechSynthesizer.new()

    def get_synthesis_languages(self) -> list:
        return self.__AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices()

    def say(self, msg: str, language: objc_util.ObjCInstance, rate=0.5):

        utterance = self.__AVSpeechUtterance.speechUtteranceWithString_(msg)
        utterance.rate = rate
        utterance.voice = voice
        utterance.useCompactVoice = False
        self.__synthesizer.speakUtterance_(utterance)

    def is_speaking(self) -> bool:
        return self.__synthesizer.isSpeaking()

    def is_paused(self) -> bool:
        return self.__synthesizer.isPaused()

    def pause(self) -> bool:
        return self.__synthesizer.pauseSpeakingAtBoundary_(True)

    def stop(self) -> bool:
        return self.__synthesizer.stopSpeakingAtBoundary_(True)

    def continue_speaking(self):
        self.__synthesizer.continueSpeaking()

Here is an example how to use it

import time

speech_ = SpeechModule()

available_voices = speech_.get_synthesis_languages()

us_english_voices = tuple(filter(lambda voice: "en-US" in str(voice), available_voices))

voice = us_english_voices[0]

speech_.say('Hello friend! how are you?', voice, 0.3)

time.sleep(1)
speech_.stop()
print(speech_.is_speaking())
speech_.say("nevermind", voice)

For some reason I can’t make that pause function to work correctly, anyway, it is an idea for your project and maybe my class could be buggy, so objc gurus invocation (@cvp @mikael @JonB @ccc )

I don’t speak Russian so I can’t confirm is the Russian pronunciation Is wrong, but maybe you are running the “say” function with the language “en-US”; this function has this parameters:

text -> text you want to say
language -> (optional) the language that you want to speak with
rate -> (optional) the speed of the voice

Maybe you are trying this, I don’t know

import speech

speech.say(some_russian_text)

You should try

import speech

speech.say("привет друг", "ru-RU")

This is not a solution for the installation but maybe it can help you, Pythonista has an already TTS module called “speech” and it works well

import speech

speech.say('hello')

Hello @Enez-Houad, you're solution is good, the clipboard is a good way to share information Pythonista => shortcuts the only two problems I saw in your scripts are first you are not setting the values to your clip board you can do it with:

import clipboard
import sys, webbrowser
n1, n2 = int(sys.argv[1]), int(sys.argv[2])
n3 = n1 + n2

# I don't know what variable you want to use n1,n2 or n3?

# This set the value n3 to the device clipboard
clipboard.set('{}'.format(n3))

Second you need a shortcut that can wrap your clipboard, the shortcuts app have a variable with that function, and with it you can use the correct url scheme

# this will open your shortcut with as input the device clipboard
url = "shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=[ShortcutName]&input=clipboard"
webbrowser.open(url)

shortcuts url scheme
Pythonista clipboard

example of the shortcut

@cvp said:

@djl this works, tested with another app because I don't have gaiagps

import webbrowser
import clipboard

with open(file_path,'rt',encoding='utf-8') as f:
  clipboard.set(f.read())
webbrowser.open('shortcuts://run-shortcut?name=my_shortcut&input=clipboard')

# my_shortcut only contains one command: open in one app

Probably this is the simplest answer to your question
But you are right, I download the app and I try that shortcut with that app, and the shortcut app create a txt file with the content of the original file
