OVERVIEW
The original plan was, to set up under ubuntu 14.04 a program-
ming environment which can use python3, spyder3 and as additional
software a speech-synthesis software like pyttsx. While everything
worked fine (see the first part of this article), it came to a ’show down’ when trying to combine python3 under ubuntu 14.04 with spyder3 and pyttsx3. All trials to overcome the problem led to new problems (see below). Finally I decided to give up the axiom of having ubuntu 14.04 on account of ros (robot operating system), because the primary tool is in this phase the programming language python. Python offers a ’universe of concepts’ on its own. And, who knows, there will be a day where ros will work with ubuntu 16.04 too :-). Then I installed ubuntu 16.04 (as upgrade from the internet) and checked the combination of python3, spyder3 and pyttsx3. It worked.
The pages 1-15 of the article describe a first update still using
ubuntu 14.04. Then it came to the crash when trying to combine python3 + spyder3 + pyttsx3. This led to the upgrade to ubuntu 16.04 and the new story. Before it came to the upgrade there was an important interaction with windows 10 helping to understand some limits and possibilities.
