Error occuring while using win32 in vs code (in python )

Question

I am trying to convert text to speech in Python 3.10.2 using the code:

import win32com.client
speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
speaker.Speak("Hello, it works!")

But there is continuously occuring an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "d:\Program\Python programing\tempCodeRunnerFile.py", line 1, in <module>
    import win32com.client   File "C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py",
line 10, in <module>
    from . import dynamic   File "C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py",
line 24, in <module>
    from . import build   File "C:\Users\ASUS\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\win32com\client\build.py",
line 638, in <module>
    valid_identifier_chars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_" AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'ascii_letters'

Looking at the file name programing\tempCodeRunnerFile.py, it looks like you had some portion of your program selected when you ran the program using "Code Runner" extension. Did you try running it without the selection? — theoctober19th

import win32com.client speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice") speaker.Speak("Hello, it works!") Is it really one line in your actual code? — rzlvmp

please insert your code and traceback as is without conversions. And use code block ({ } mark) instead of quote — rzlvmp

Your traceback contains AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'ascii_letters'. This is weird, because the string module of the standard library does have this attribute. Could you have a custom module named string? — Serge Ballesta

If you create a new .py file containing just these three lines, does it work? If not, the error is elsewhere in tempCodeRunnerFile.py. — Jack Deeth

you wrote two lines of code in the same line Try this

import win32com.client
speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
speaker.Speak("Hello, it works!")

or try to put a semicolon after the first line of code Try this

import win32com.client; speaker =win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
speaker.Speak("Hello, it works!")

either way should work

First of all, thank you for your answer. I tried both ways that you recommend but it throws the same error as earlier.

While I write the code the.Speak() function is not highlighted

I just copied your code and did that small edit and that worked for me. I don't know the solution for sure but if I were you I would try to reinstall python, because it seems that the error is in importing the library.
