Cannot pip install scikits.talkbox on MacOS

I'm trying to pip install scikits.talkbox on my MacOS. I use Python 3.7.3

If I run

pip install scikits.talkbox

or

pip3 install scikits.talkbox

I get the following errors (I hope I did include everything)

My suspect is that there is some problems with setuptools, which I have just upgraded, no results. Any ideas?

I get the same errors on Python 3.7.4 on macOS. It's related to the package's Cython-related codes:

scikits/talkbox/tools/src/cffilter.c:3287:21: error: no member named 'exc_type' in 'struct _ts'
    *type = tstate->exc_type;
            ~~~~~~  ^
scikits/talkbox/tools/src/cffilter.c:3288:22: error: no member named 'exc_value' in 'struct _ts'; did you mean 'curexc_value'?
    *value = tstate->exc_value;
                     ^~~~~~~~~
                     curexc_value

First of, the scikits.talkbox package is very old with its last release waaaaay back in Aug 28, 2009 (see 0.25), which is about 10 years ago! It seems it is not compatible with or was not even ported yet for Python 3.

It does install successfully on Python 2.7, though:

$ python -V
Python 2.7.16
$ python -m pip install numpy scipy
...
$ python -m pip install scikits.talkbox
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support

If you want Python 3 support, you'll have to raise an issue over at the scikits.talkbox Github page, but judging from the history on that repo, it seems the author is not active anymore on that project.

Out of curiousity, I tried finding a workaround for installing on Python 3. Basically, the package includes pre-compiled Cython files, which are not compatible with Python 3 (giving the errors with *.c files). I tried to re-compile it with Cython on Python3.7:

# download the source code from PyPi
$ wget https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/65/a0/410eb932e1765186a4728d1c9b28410695d554c47439bcb69a407d5d3921/scikits.talkbox-0.2.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf scikits.talkbox-0.2.5.tar.gz
$ cd scikits.talkbox-0.2.5/

# re-compile with Cython on Python 3.7
$ python3 -V
Python 3.7.4
$ python3 -m pip install numpy scipy cython
$ find . -name '*.pyx' -exec cython {} \;
$ python3 -m pip install .
...
Successfully installed scikits.talkbox-0.2.5

It seems I got it successfully installed BUT when you use it:

$ python3
Python 3.7.4 (default, Sep  7 2019, 18:29:04) 
[Clang 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scikits.talkbox
['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__']
Traceback (most recent call last):

    __all__ += tools.__all__
AttributeError: module 'tools' has no attribute '__all__'
>>>

..which is the same unresolved, unnoticed error reported in the package's repo:
https://github.com/cournape/talkbox/issues/8

So... it seems your only options are to:
