Does Python modules like pyttsx3,opencv conflict in Windows 11?

Question

My code:

    import pyttsx3

    #sapi5 is default windows voice api
    engine = pyttsx3.init('sapi5')
    voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
    print(voices[1].id)
    engine.setProperty('voice', voices[0].id)


    def speak(audio):
        pass

On running the code instead of getting that voice ID printed I am getting this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "C:\Users\subha\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python39\site-packages\pyttsx3\__init__.py", line 20, in init
        eng = _activeEngines[driverName]

        o = self.data[key]()
    KeyError: 'sapi5'
    
    During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    ImportError: No system module 'pywintypes' (pywintypes39.dll)

On the other side I had a project based on cv2 that was working fine earlier but now that also stopped working. The only change that happened recently is that I upgraded to windows11 yesterday. So is that the problem? How to fix it?

Answer 1

No, they don't conflict with Windows 11! For me they still are running efficiently! Try to uninstall Python and pip including all modules as well and then download them.

If that doesn't work you, you could try switching to older versions of Python that support these quiet efficiently or you can download these libraries from internet optimized for Windows 11.
Or, if none of these help you can consider switching back to Windows 10!

Note- Windows 11 is still relatively new and there are lot of bugs which different users are facing which may be uncommon for others. I am myself facing some issues which are uncommon and the methods which I prescribed may not work for you!

Answer 2

Ok, I have tried the code and works fine for me now as per me there is no problem in your code and its probably the windows 11 or the installation has a defect / glitch cause windows 11 is not yet the smoothest and it may be causing your code to not run properly

i would also like to ask you to see if the permissions and stuff are allowed maybe they are stopping access i hope these words have been helpful i have tried my best to understand hope it goes well
