I think I already tried what was suggested in that thread, but I'll give it another look.

orazdow · 2018-01-02T11:35:55Z

I'm having the same problem on windows, if anyone has found a solution please let me know

josephalway · 2018-01-24T21:47:39Z

The No module named 'pyttsx3.drivers' error seems to be an issue with PyInstaller not importing the module loaded with importlib. The old version of pyttsx has a hook file created for use with pyttsx in the Pyinstaller hooks folder. I created a copy for pyttsx3 and added pyttsx3. to drivers, drivers.sapi5, etc. That seems to load the pyttsx3.drivers module fine, but now I am running into a win32com.client error.

(This seems to fix the import error and could just be added to your .spec file for your project.)
The hook I edited for PyInstaller just adds the following to whatever_my_project_is.spec file:

hiddenimports = [
'pyttsx3.drivers',
'pyttsx3.drivers.dummy',
'pyttsx3.drivers.espeak',
'pyttsx3.drivers.nsss',
'pyttsx3.drivers.sapi5',
]

Again, I just copied the hook-pyttsx.py file in the hooks directory, made a copy named hook-pyttsx3.py in the PyInstaller folder for the hooks and added "pyttsx3." to the hidden imports.

There's also a link in the Pyinstaller hook file for work done on this same issue for the older version of pyttsx. pyinstaller and pyttsx

The New Error I am now seeing involves the use of the win32com.client package.
Error when trying to run the compiled file:

Anyone care to take a stab at getting the win32com error fixed?

josephalway · 2018-02-02T18:28:53Z

Example of what fixes the No module named pyttsx3.drivers error:

These are the key lines:
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
my_hidden_imports = collect_submodules('pyttsx3')
hiddenimports=my_hidden_imports,

This is a .spec file I created that collects all of the pyttsx3 submodules:

# -*- mode: python -*-
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_submodules
block_cipher = None

my_hidden_imports = collect_submodules('pyttsx3')

a = Analysis(['pyttsx3_example.py'],
             pathex=['C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Redist\\ucrt\\DLLs\\x64'],
             binaries=[],
             datas=[],
             hiddenimports=my_hidden_imports,
             hookspath=[],
             runtime_hooks=[],
             excludes=[],
             win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
             win_private_assemblies=False,
             cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
             cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
          a.scripts,
          a.binaries,
		  a.zipfiles,

          name='pyttsx3_example',
          debug=False,
          strip=False,
          upx=True,
          console=True )

Success!
Commenting out all of the lines in the pyinstaller hook file pyi_rth_win32comgenpy.py fixes the last issue.
I'm sure there's a more elegant solution. I'll post an issue on pyinstaller and link it here.

what are hidden imports how to solve the "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyttsx3.drivers.' " error?

DebarunMitra · 2020-02-02T16:13:05Z

I am getting the error for below code,

voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
print(voices)
engine.setProperty('voices', voices[0].id)`

I am using python 3.8.1 in windows 8.

I am getting the error for below code,

import pyttsx3 engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5') voices = engine.getProperty('voices') print(voices) engine.setProperty('voices', voices[0].id)

I am using python 3.8.1 in windows 8.
