How could I make Python say some text?

I could use Festival with subprocess but I won't be able to control it (or maybe in interactive mode, but it won't be clean).

Is there a Python TTS library? Like an API for Festival, eSpeak, ... ?

Please note that this only work with python 2.x

You should try using the PyTTSx package since PyTTS is outdated. PyTTSx works with the lastest python version.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyttsx/1.0 -> The package

Hope it helps
