This should be totally doable by adding a delegate to be notified when the NSSpeechSynthesizer is finished speaking and by keeping a queue of messages to be spoken.

class SpeechDelegate(NSObject):
    def speechSynthesizer_didFinishSpeaking_(self, synthesizer, success):
        # ...

delegate = SpeechDelegate.new()
synthesizer.setDelegate_(delegate)

However, it looks like this breaks /reload plugins: the runtime complains about the new delegate class trying to replace the old one ("SpeechDelegate is overriding existing Objective-C class"). This StackOverflow answer discusses a tremendously unsupported workaround.

Can you think a way to get around that problem? I'd be happy to work on it, I'm just super unfamiliar with PyObjC, having never used it before.
