to_phonemes() only parses the first word in a sentence [Windows] about voxpopuli HOT 2 CLOSED

Oh. This kind of problem again. For now I use quote from shlex's quote which works perfectly on Unix systems. Maybe you should try to find a shell-escaping function that works well on windows. I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/967443/python-module-to-shellquote-unshellquote , but maybe you'll find something better.

As a side question: why using python on windows? (I'm genuinely asking)

from voxpopuli.

Replacing text with '"%s"' % text in phoneme_synth_args seems to fix this problem, but I feel like it's a hackish solution. I'll submit a patch shortly.

As for your side question - Python supports Windows quite well and most of the time there are no bigger compatibility issues. Even TensorFlow got ported to Windows recently. Honestly, the biggest quirk with using Python on Windows is to remember to escape or use proper slashes in paths. Python is a really flexible and versatile language and I'm not a huge fan of JavaScript.

If you're asking why not use Python on Linux - I do use both, Mostly Linux for server-side apps, but sometimes I need to make an app that runs on Windows.
