Getting Python to talk with Windows XP:

• run C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py
• choose 'Microsoft Speech Object Library (5.0)' from the list and OK
• run this python

  import win32com.client
  
  o = win32com.client.Dispatch( 'SAPI.Spvoice')
  o.Speak( 'That was easy')
  

• Combine this with remote sshd login and a loud av amp in church mode and scare the wife.

Talk from command line:

#
# Speak
#
import win32com.client
import sys

win32com.client.Dispatch( 'SAPI.Spvoice').Speak( " ".join( sys.argv[1:]))
