I have a project where I was doing text to speech conversion. My audio file is being stored as a mp3.
But now, when I check the Gtts api is throwing error. I tried searching but couldn't find a workable solution for the bug.
My code is as follows:
def synth(sent,language='en',slow = False):
"""
Synthesize text into audio
"""
os.system('clear')
print("Speaker Output:" + sent)
gt_ob = gTTS(text=sent, lang=language, slow=slow)
file_name = hashlib.md5(sent.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
print("File Name " + file_name)
gt_ob.save("media/audio.mp3")
print("Till here")
os.system("ffmpeg -nostats -loglevel 0 -y -i media/audio.mp3 -ar 16000 media/"+ file_name + ".wav")
if __name__ == "__main__":
synth("good morning","en")
And the Error message that I am getting is :
File "file_name.py", line 30, in <module>
synth("good morning","en")
File "file_name.py", line 25, in synth
gt_ob.save("media/audio.mp3")
File "/home/arqam/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtts/tts.py", line 247, in save
self.write_to_fp(f)
File "/home/arqam/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtts/tts.py", line 187, in write_to_fp
part_tk = self.token.calculate_token(part)

seed = self._get_token_key()
File "/home/arqam/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtts_token/gtts_token.py", line 62, in _get_token_key
a = re.search("a\\\\x3d(-?\d+);", tkk_expr).group(1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
So how can we resolve this bug that has popped up?
There is an official fix now. It had to do with an upstream dependency of gtts, gtts-token. It has been fixed in gtts-token==1.1.2
The issue was fixed after I did a fresh install of both gtts and gtts-token. Now it is working. Thanks to open source gods and @carrey-cole
