simper

Parse JSON file "end-to-end" and output text to an mp3 file of the same name. Not particularly useful, but I was having fun writing bad poetry in JSON format, since sestinas are so, like 12th century, man.

A json file constructed like so:

{
	"happy": [
		"clam",
		"clown",
		{
			"bottle of": [
				"bees",
				"kazoos"
			]
		}
	]
}

. . . yields an mp3 file with the following strings:

happy clam
happy clown
happy bottle of bees
happy bottle of kazoos

Only tested on linux, so YMMV on other platforms.

Requires

• gTTS

Usage

usage: simper [-h] [--language LANGUAGE] filenames [filenames ...]

ever-so-useful script to audibly navigate a JSON object

positional arguments:
  filenames            json files to parse

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --language LANGUAGE  two-character ISO 639-1 language code. Defaults to "en"

Installation

You should probably use a nice virtualenv, since it's not worth the trouble of putting in your path or whatever. Install gTTS pip install -r requirements.txt, and you should be good to go.
