voice reading RSS feeds with Python

Here is a small Python script that can read arbitrary RSS feed and later read it to you by voice. As an example I have RSS feeds from two websites: yandex.ru and news.ycombinator.com loaded in Russian and English language respectively.

	#!/usr/bin/python
	# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
	from time import gmtime, strftime
	import locale
	import feedparser
	from gtts import gTTS
	from time import sleep
	import os
	import pyglet
	pyglet.lib.load_library('avbin')
	pyglet.have_avbin=True
	def read_text(text):
	tts = gTTS(text=text, lang='ru')
	filename = 'tmp_32654269357_temp.mp3'
	tts.save(filename)
	music = pyglet.media.load(filename, streaming=False)
	music.play()
	sleep(music.duration)
	os.remove(filename)
	def run_intro():
	intro_time = strftime("%A, %d %b %H:%M", gmtime())
	intro_text = 'Привет, я ридер RSS. Сейчас'
	read_text(intro_text)
	read_text(intro_time)
	class Reader(object):
	'class for reading RSS-feeds'
	def __init__(self, rss_path, title, lang='ru'):
	self.lang = lang
	self.rss_path = rss_path
	self.title = title
	#print self.__dict__
	def get_feed(self):
	d = feedparser.parse(self.rss_path)
	return d['entries']
	def read(self, itemsLength=5):
	self.read_text(self.title)
	sleep(2)
	f = self.get_feed()
	for i, item in enumerate(f):
	if (i <= itemsLength):
	real_number = (i+1)
	str = '%s - %s' % (real_number, item['title'])
	print str
	self.read_text('%s -' % real_number)
	sleep(0.3)
	self.read_text(item['title'])
	sleep(1)
	def read_text(self, text):
	tts = gTTS(text=text, lang=self.lang)
	filename = 'tmp_32654269357_temp.mp3'
	tts.save(filename)
	music = pyglet.media.load(filename, streaming=False)
	music.play()
	sleep(music.duration)
	os.remove(filename)
	# ///////////////////////////////
	locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'ru_RU')
	#run_intro()
	#sleep(2)
	yn = Reader('https://news.yandex.ru/index.rss', 'Новости топа Яндекс')
	yn.read(10)
	sleep(2)
	hn = Reader('https://news.ycombinator.com/rss', 'Hackernews top', 'en')
	hn.read(20)

It has following dependencies: gTTS (google text to speach module, core function) also pyglet and feedparser.
