speechd_config executes Shell Commands

[Bernd Dietzel]

if espeak is installed , some functions in the script "speechd_config.py" can be used to execute Shell Commands.

------

Demo Example from the terminal type in :

theregrunner@mint17 : ~ $ python3
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:18)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import speechd_config
>>> speechd_config.options.use_espeak_synthesis=True
>>> speechd_config.report('This executes xterm but should not ";xterm;#"' )

------

The problem is that the script uses os.system() commands when espeak is installed

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/speechd_config/config.py

line 34 - 39 :

def report(msg):
    """Output information messages for the user on stdout
    and if desired, by espeak synthesis"""
    print(msg)
    if options.use_espeak_synthesis:
        os.system("espeak \"" + msg + "\"")
