Error while trying to install pyttsx3 library

I was trying to install pyttsx3 using pip on windows 10 when I get this error plus a very fat red code that I included

Collecting comtypes; platform_system == "Windows"
  Using cached comtypes-1.1.7.zip (180 kB)
Using legacy setup.py install for comtypes, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
Installing collected packages: comtypes, pyttsx3
    Running setup.py install for comtypes ... error```

Solution

  • Try updating setup tools and then try again the install:

    pip install -U setuptools
pip install pyttsx3

    If it doesn't solve your issue you can also try to specify the version for pyttsx3

    pip install -U pyttsx3==2.71

    If this doesn't work also, try installing it directly from the official github repo:

    pip install git+https://github.com/nateshmbhat/pyttsx3

    If still doesn't work, consider changing your python version.
