ttastromech 0.6.1

python library transform text strings into Astromech (like R2D2) sounds

Text to Astromech

This was originally created by Hugo SCHOCH. I just packaged it on pypi and use it for an R2D2 project I am working on.

It works by assigning an R2-D2 sound to each letter of the alphabet, then, when you pass it a string, it makes sounds like an astromech. Currently it only supports Linux and macOS.

OS	Audio Program
macOS	afplay
linux	play from libsox
linux	aplay from alsa

Install

The preferred method of installation is:

pip install ttastromech

Usage

from ttastromech import TTAstromech
import time


if __name__ == '__main__':
        r2 = TTAstromech()

        try:
                r2.run()  # make random astromech sounds by feeding it random strings of letters
                time.sleep(2)
        except KeyboardInterrupt:
                print('bye ...')

Or:

astromech.py "my god, its full of stars ... oh wait, the wrong movie"
