how to play mp3

Question

my problem starts here:

pyttsx and gTTS module errors

gTTS works well, takes text from text file, but first creates mp3 file, then if I want listen, I must call

Answer 1

This will do the job and without the need for files:

def say(text, lang='en'):
""" Speak the provided text.
"""    
import pygame
from gtts import gTTS
import io
tts = gTTS(text=text, lang=lang, slow=False)
pygame.mixer.init()
pygame.init()  # this is needed for pygame.event.* and needs to be called after mixer.init() otherwise no sound is played 
with io.BytesIO() as f: # use a memory stream
    tts.write_to_fp(f)
    f.seek(0)
    pygame.mixer.music.load(f)
    pygame.mixer.music.set_endevent(pygame.USEREVENT)
    pygame.event.set_allowed(pygame.USEREVENT)
    pygame.mixer.music.play()
    pygame.event.wait() # play() is asynchronous. This wait forces the speaking to be finished before closing f and returning
