I can't change the gender..., what i'm doing wrong?

[rainfuse]

Hi, first awesome lib! I'm using under linux and was preety easy to start, but now I want to change the speech to female... I'm trying with the code below without success... can you please help me?

import pyttsx

def say(text):
print "{}".format(text)
engine = pyttsx.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
for voice in voices:
print voice.gender
engine.setProperty('female', voice.gender)
print "change: {}".format(voice.gender)
engine.say(text)
engine.runAndWait()

Thanks

The gender is a read-only property on a voice. To speak in a female voice, find a voice that has gender=female and use engine.setPropert('voice', voice.id) to set the engine to use that female voice.

There's an example here in the documentation:
