Windows 7 Unit Test fail

[LiKe85]

As requested in #10 I installed and tested pyttsx on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with the following results of a full unit test run.

I used python 2.7.5 with pywin32-218 and no additional TTS software installed. As you can see from the command line output the testStop() fails.

Interestingly stop() seems to work properly (under Windows 7, but see #16), at least when used as shown in the "Interrupting an utterance" example from the docs. Apart from that, most of pyttsx seems to work for Windows 7 like for Ubuntu. This means that the following calls work like expected/documented:

• init()
• connect() and disconnect()
• getProperty() and setProperty()
• startLoop() and endLoop()
• say()
• runAndWait()

For the "correctness" of isBusy() see #13, for issues with stop() see #16.

Thanks for running the tests. Did you have to switch the SAPI GUID as reported in #10 ?

I'll trying to find a Win7 VM to debug the test cases.

No, the switching of SAPI GUID was not necessary, the microsoft Anna voice was available by default. The ID proposed in #10 works as well with much better voices.
