I am trying to install pyttsx3 using pip3. When I enter pip3 install pyttsx3, I get the following:

MacBook-Pro:~ CaptStephan$ pip3 install pyttsx3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/pip3", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('pip==9.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip3')()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 561, in load_entry_point
    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2630, in load_entry_point
    raise ImportError("Entry point %r not found" % ((group, name),))
ImportError: Entry point ('console_scripts', 'pip3') not found

I am using MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 and Python 3.6.0 :: Anaconda 4.3.1 (x86_64)

I can install it OK with pip (not pip3) but then it doesn't seem to actually work. A search shows the solution is to install with pip3, but that gives rise to the above error.

Edit: updating to Python 3.6.2 corrects this problem, but pyttsx3 does not seem to work correctly.

  • Run `head -1 \`which pip3\`` — what Python the `pip3` file uses? – phd Aug 19 '17 at 00:14
  • I suspect it was already obvious, but I am pretty new at Python having only completed the edX MIT programming class and started to work on a robot project. That said: MacBook-Pro:~ CaptStephan$ head -1 'which pip3' head: which pip3: No such file or directory – CaptStephan Aug 19 '17 at 02:40
  • Backquotes, not apostrophes: `\`` instead of `'`. – phd Aug 19 '17 at 10:26
  • the result of that is: #!/Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/python – CaptStephan Aug 23 '17 at 18:47
  • Also: MacBook-Pro:~ CaptStephan$ which python /Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/python MacBook-Pro:~ CaptStephan$ which python3 /Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/python3 MacBook-Pro:~ CaptStephan$ – CaptStephan Aug 23 '17 at 18:51
  • What's printed with `/Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/python3 -c "import sys; print sys.path"`? I'd like to understand why `/Users/CaptStephan/anaconda/bin/python3` uses `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/`. – phd Aug 23 '17 at 18:54
  • File "", line 1 import sys; print sys.path ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax – CaptStephan Aug 23 '17 at 20:54
  • In python 3, `print(sys.path)` @phd – OneCricketeer Aug 23 '17 at 21:35
  • ['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python36.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages'] – CaptStephan Aug 24 '17 at 22:19
