How to save gTTS audio response in a temporary file ?

[Morojs]

i am just wondering if it is possible to save gTTS audio response in a temporary file with python ?

this example doesn't work for me

from gtts import gTTS
import tempfile
from playsound import playsound

tempWavFile = tempfile.TemporaryFile(suffix="wav")

tts=gTTS('hello , how can i help you')
tts.save(tempfile)

Hi! Two things I see here:

1. You're actually passing the tempfile module to gTTS.save(), I think you meant to pass tempWavFile?
   (also, by the way, it's mp3 format that is generated)

2. And second, tempfile.TemporaryFile() returns a file-like object, and gTTS.save() is for files. What you want is gTTS.write_to_fp() instead!

it works with gTTS.write_to_fp() , I need to play this wave file "tempWavFile" with playsound pkg like the code below :

tempWavFile = tempfile.TemporaryFile(suffix="wav")
tts=gTTS('hello , how can i help you')
tts.write_to_fp(tempWavFile) 
playsound(tempWavFile) 

#traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\workspace\current-workspace\github\win-bot\test.py", line 10, in <module>
    playsound(tempWavFile)
  File "C:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\playsound.py", line 35, in _playsoundWin
    winCommand('open "' + sound + '" alias', alias)
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "_TemporaryFileWrapper") to str

i know that the tempWavFile it's not compatible with gTTS.write_to_fp() arg type , is there any way to make it readable for gTTS.write_to_fp() ?
