Espeak Backend error in Docker tmp folder

[Ahmed-Hossam-Aldeen]

Describe the bug
I Installed phonemizer and espeak in docker container by
$ pip install phonemizer
$ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
$ apt-get install espeak

When I try to run any function related to phonemizer, the following error message appears.

Exception ignored in: <finalize object at 0x7f08c6529a20; dead>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/conda/envs/lee/lib/python3.8/weakref.py", line 566, in call

os.rmdir(path)
OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/tmp/tmpw4cld8sd'
And Some files pile up in /tmp folder.

Phonemizer version
phonemizer-3.0.1
available backends: espeak-1.48.3, segments-2.2.0
uninstalled backends: espeak-mbrola, festival

System
Ubuntu 20.04

To reproduce
$ phonemize --version

Expected behavior
tmp/tmp[~~] folder is deleted without error message

Additional context
Is it a file delete permission issue?

Hi, I guess you are using a base docker image like "anaconda" or "miniconda"? In those images, the user has restricted privileges. Try to define the environment variable TMPDIR to a path where you have rw permission.

You can try something like TMPDIR=$HOME echo "hello" | phonemize -b espeak -l en-us

Thank you, I have created a temp directory for espeak in root, so now TMPDIR=/root/tmp_espeak and it now works using this command echo "hello" | phonemize -b espeak -l en-us from terminal, but when I use espeak backend from python phonemes = phonemize(text, language='en-us', backend='espeak', strip=True, preserve_punctuation=True, with_stress=True) I get the same error again error OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/home/model-server/tmp/tmp9q8e_44b'

this is not clear to me, you created /root/tmp_espeak but the error is about /home/model-server/tmp. From Python do you have TMPDIR defined in os.environ? You should, and it must point to a folder where the user running Python have read/write permission.
