gTTS not wanting to import properly about gtts

[jhoelzl]

Maybe this is related to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16981921/relative-imports-in-python-3.
What is the name of your script file? It should no be gtts.py.

Maybe try something like this:

import gtts

tts = gtts.tts.gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en')
tts.save("hello.mp3")

or remove the dots in the import command in __init__.py

How have you installed the module?

Verify with pip list if gTTS is installed in your environment.

When you have activated your virtual environment, run

pip install gTTS without sudo, otherwise it will be installed in your main python folder of your operating system.

Ok so it I didn't know that the script shouldnt be named after the module. I have fixed it and now it seems to run. Now I'm wondering, is it possible for gTTS to speak the text without needing to write to a file, then playing it back?

@philipposslicher
I am also having the same problem with gtts module how did you corrected can you pls explain it.
AttributeError: module 'gtts_1' has no attribute 'gTTs'

Hi, this seems to still be an issue.

I am using
-macOS Mojave 10.14.3
-Python 3.7
-gTTs 2.0.3
-gTTs-token 1.1.3

[philipposslicher]

I installed it with pip install gTTS. I have checked its installed in the virtualenv, running import gtts (I ran this just to test if its installed) shows thats its installed.
Output of pip list

gTTS (1.1.6)
gTTS-token (1.1.1)
pip (9.0.1)
PyAudio (0.2.9)
requests (2.11.1)
setuptools (28.8.0)
SpeechRecognition (3.4.6)
wheel (0.30.0a0)

[jhoelzl]

and in your environment, the module files exist under lib/python3.5/site-packages/gtts ?

[philipposslicher]

Yep, both gtts, gtts_token, gTTS_token-1.1.1.dist-info, and gTTS-1.1.6.dist-info

[jhoelzl]

Could you try the command from gtts import gTTS using python -i in your environment?

[philipposslicher]

It gives me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: cannot import name 'gTTS'

[jhoelzl]

You could try this instead:

import gtts

tts = gtts.gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en')
tts.save("hello.mp3")

[philipposslicher]

That gives this though:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'gtts' has no attribute 'gTTS'

[jhoelzl]

Currently not, i also requested this feature in #26

[philipposslicher]

What would be recommended for playing a file, and also deleting (cause it would be temp)

[jhoelzl]

You can do this to play the file and then remove it:

from gtts import gTTS
import os

filename = "temp"
tts = gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en')
tts.save(filename + ".mp3")

# Convert MP3 to Wav and Play
os.system('avconv -i ' + filename + '.mp3 -ac 1 -ar 44100 '  + filename + '.wav' )
os.system('aplay ' + filename+'.wav')

os.remove(filename+'.wav')
os.remove(filename+'.mp3')

I wrote >>import gtts
I am getting:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in <module> import gtts File "C:\Python34\lib\gtts\__init__.py", line 3, in <module> from .tts import gTTS, gTTSError File "C:\Python34\lib\gtts\tts.py", line 6, in <module> from gtts_token import gtts_token ImportError: No module named 'gtts_token'
What to do?

[JaiSh12345]

Then I tried:
>>> from gtts import gTTS
>>> gTTS('Hello')
Output? This:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#14>", line 1, in <module> gTTS('Hello') File "C:\Python34\lib\gtts\tts.py", line 140, in __init__ self.token = gtts_token.Token() NameError: name 'gtts_token' is not defined

[seriadiallo]
