I've done some work with this, and I generally create a plain-text reading script, making spelling and punctuation changes as necessary to get the pronunciations and rhythm right. So yes, change web2py to web2-pi. You'll also find that it always pronounces 'read' as 'reed', so if you want the past tense, change it to 'red'. Likewise 'lead'. You can also sometimes improve things by adding commas strategically. I'm not sure if this is standard, but I've got the system set up to speak selected text when I hit shift-option-control-s. Set that up in the Text-to-Speech system preference pane if necessary; it's quite handy. I've also got a script that converts a text file to mp3.
