I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, am fooling around with some Python code. In earlier releases, I used to be able to do:
import speechd
And now I get that the module does not exist. It also tells my the following when I try to install python-speechd:
Package python-speechd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsolete, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'python-speechd' has no installation candidate.
What should I do? I'd like to keep using speech-dispatcher if I can. https://live.gnome.org/Orca/SpeechDispatcher says that I should try to install python-speechd, which doesn't work. Thank you in advance - I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything.
EDIT: I did a little digging, and this seems to be an issue with Python 2.7, since python3-speechd is installed but not python-speechd. The following works:
python3 -c "import speechd"
but this does NOT (can't find module speechd):
python2.7 -c "import speechd"
It would be great to get this working with Python 2.7.
SECOND EDIT: I tried installing python-speechd from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/i386/python-speechd/0.7.1-6ubuntu3 But it said that it's installation conflicted with python3-speechd.
