(Hint: you'd have helped if you'd provided the whole
traceback).

Well, going by pyTTS v3.0 for Python 2.5, that error
comes from the __init__.py of the pyTTS package when
either you've specified a speech package other than
"SAPI" (the default) or the sapi module couldn't be imported.
My conclusion would be that you've accidentally removed some
part of the sapi package.

What happens if you open the interpreter (possibly with -v for
more info) from within the pyTTS folder and and do "import sapi"?

C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pyTTS>python -v -c "import sapi"
