Trying to install pyttsx, it doesn't strike me as very clever that, as
seen below, you get "Successfully installed pyttsx" despite the syntax
errors and you can't actually do an import.

This is from pip, saying that it successfully downloaded and installed
the files on your disk, which it did.
A bug it seems to me.
After reading the responses on the tracker and here, the bug is in the
total systen of interaction of multiple parts. It is not a bug for the
part covered by the tracker.
Cleaning up...

I've looked at pyttsx in my 3.3 site-packages and it appears that I've
manually run 2to3. Is this something that could be done automatically
by pip? Your thoughts please, ladies and gentlemen.
I should hope so.
FTR I raised this as http://bugs.python.org/issue20846 and it was closed
11 minutes after I raised it. I won't say anything else as I'm
extremely tired and irritable and might well regret it later.
The issue brought to attention that the parts do not work together
perfectly yet and stimulated some thought and some clarification on what
needs to be done. I understand the irritation, but sleeping on it and
letting it go is a good idea.
