Ok I had to try it before I get back to work on Monday. I just got
emacspeak to compile with no problems. Well I say no problems but there were
about 8 warnings of packages I did not have installed to emacs but they were
either all lisp packages or they could be replace for example it said I
didn't have w3. I just installed w3m which I think works fine with
emacspeak since it works fine with emacs. If not I will go get the older
w3.el sources. Of course none of the packages it warned about really will
break emacspeak it just will not allow me to do a couple things till I get
them installed. So anyway I now have emacspeak compiled but I have not
installed it yet because I want to see if I can jerry rig it to take my
ttsserver. Heck I might even dump python all together and rewrite what I
have done in c++ for speed but we will see because I would rather get it to
work first then make it faster. At this rate though maybe I can get
emacspeak talking next weekend.
I also want to see if I can find a way to have emacsspeak run in console
output mode or something where it will write the text it would send to a
file that would be helpful.

It's been a while lol...but looks like I went down the same road
before. Here's my take on a server before. Mac has a native
messaging loop (not sure what it is in terms of py objc context), but
in objc it's NSRunLoop. Looks like you've found it though in
apphelper.
This server uses an http server to receive text from a client. Also,
would be interested in your luck compiling emacspeak on Snow Leopard.
""" begin server
"""
import string,cgi,time, urllib
from os import curdir, sep, system
from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer
from AppKit import NSObject
from AppKit import NSSpeechSynthesizer
""" WebServer
This script starts an http server and utilizes the Mac OS X speech
synthesis framework to generate speech received through the browser as
an url.
"""
class SpeechSynthesizerDelegate(NSObject):
def speechSynthesizer_didFinishSpeaking_(self, synthesizer, success):
sys.stdout.write("finished speaking")
class MyHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
speechSynthesizer = NSSpeechSynthesizer.alloc().init()
delegate_ = SpeechSynthesizerDelegate.alloc().init();
def __init__(self, request, client_address, socket):
MyHandler.speechSynthesizer.setRate_(500)
MyHandler.speechSynthesizer.setDelegate_(MyHandler.delegate_)
BaseHTTPRequestHandler.__init__(self, request, client_address, socket)
def do_GET(self):
MyHandler.speechSynthesizer.startSpeakingString_(urllib.unquote(self.path))
def main():
try:
server = HTTPServer(('', 80), MyHandler)
print 'started http server...'
server.serve_forever()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print '^C received, shutting down server'
server.socket.close()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
