Huge thanks for your efforts & question

[ph0enixph0enix]

First of all: A huge thanks from my side for all your efforts.
This project is desperately needed! <3
I'm sitting on a Windows 10 64 bit machine and can't get Piper TTS to run just because of the phonemizer not able to instal via pip:

pip install piper-phonemize~=1.1.0
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement piper-phonemize~=1.1.0 (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for piper-phonemize~=1.1.0

As far as I've seen from your commit history, you've been working on it (which is great!). I would help if I would have the knowledge to do so.

My question:
It is not ready to use on Windows right now, am I right?
If there is a way (even with caveats) please let me know how I can get to run on my machine...

pip encodes some package information in their file names, so if the relevant part of the file name does not match your system it will not install it. I was able to work around this issue on an older computer the following way:

1. Install any package and pay attention to the downloaded file names as those will be supported on your system.

$ pip install piper-tts
Collecting piper-tts
  Using cached piper_tts-1.2.0-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (776 bytes)

Note the py3-none-any part of the filename.

2. Download a release file, like piper_phonemize-1.1.0-cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl and change the cp310-cp310-manylinux_2_28_x86_64 part in the file name to what you noted earlier.

3. Use pip install and pass the new file to it.

This worked for me. Most likely there is a better more proper solution.

Thanks for this, I could install the packages now. Yet, I still can't get to run the piper http server.

I have the exact same error attempting to run piper after installing the renamed wheel on Windows, unable to import 'piper_phonemize_cpp': No module named 'piper_phonemize_cpp'

It appears that setup.py is not finding the external modules:

ext_modules = [
Pybind11Extension(
"piper_phonemize_cpp",
[
"src/python.cpp",
"src/phonemize.cpp",
"src/phoneme_ids.cpp",
