Thanks for this @treymarc! Not everyone wants to touch 2.7 these days.
Typically I would say screw 2.7, but this is a neat quick fix until 2.7 support is officially gone in gTTS (which it wasn't so I feel I have the obligation to make it work for at least the next release).

One thing, do you mind adding 2.x to the testing matrix in: https://github.com/pndurette/gTTS/blob/master/.github/workflows/test.yml#L19

See if that passes?

[treymarc]

test are broken with python2.7 as they requires pytest>=6.1 :(

testing this code with python2.7 is working

from gtts import gTTS
tts = gTTS('hello')
tts.save('hello.mp3')

Alright thanks @treymarc / @MarcTreySonos!

We're already doing a big favour to the world by releasing an update for a 2.7 package. I did update pytest for no real reason other than it was old, it could most likely be downgraded back to the last 2.7 version 4.6.11.

Let me do something I haven't done in a while, build a 2.7 virtualenv to try that out.
Edit: Beat me to it I see, hehe.

[pndurette]

Ah you forgot to change it here as well:
https://github.com/pndurette/gTTS/blob/master/setup.cfg#L44

[pndurette]

Amazing, looks like Python 2.7 is back in business, against all odds. Thank you so much!

[pndurette]

Will release this shortly!

[treymarc]

thank you 👌
