At the moment I need two libraries for a script I'm working on, espeak and PyTTSx. The purpose of the script is to have python speak, and to do that I would need a speech engine, and the PyTTSx library.
PyTTSx Python.org Description

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

you can find information here on how to install python modules: http://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/InstallingNewModules

if the python library depends on another library, i'm afraid that you can't use apt to install it, because we don't allow root privileges. If you can figure out how to manually download and compile it and make it available from your own home folder, and tell the python library how to find it, you may still be able to get it to work. but that would probably need a bit of knowledge of c compilation and libraries...

Thank you!!!!
