gTTS Doesn't Save MP3 Files

Question

I want to create an artificial intelligence program using Python. I found out that I need gTTS but it doesn't save mp3 files. Help me, please.

#gtts is imported
def talkToMe(audio, lgg = 'en'):
    #print(audio)
    tts = gTTS(text = audio, lang = lgg)
    #tts.save('audio.mp3') #doesn't work
    with open("audio.mp3") as fp: #doesn't work
        tts.write_to_fp(fp)
    os.system('mpg123\mpg123.exe audio.mp3')

from gtts import gTTS    
#gtts is imported
audio = 'Hello , I am Tina, your digital assistant'
def talkToMe(audio, lgg = 'en'):
    #print(audio)
    tts = gTTS(text = audio, lang = lgg)
    tts.save('audio.mp3') #doesn't work
    return None
talkToMe(audio , lgg ='en')  

save the above file as text_2_speech.py (as an e.g.).i have tried it and it is working fine. from command line type python -W ignore text_2_speech.py and then the file is saved as audio.mp3 in the current directory.
