[Pythonmac-SIG] py access to speech synth?

[DavidW]

Thanks for replying. I know about "say".
What's wrong with such high-level control is, for example, that there  
isn't any tempo or prosody control
or phoneme control - if that's their synthesis method -
(a 'cello that is fixated on the Hall of the Mountain King would soon  
become my enemy :-)

I haven't used PyObjC before so I'll have a go at   
NSSpeechSynthesizer. Thanks!

Any other views?
