Hello Herman, yes, that is the problem.  You will need the
python-speechd package for SD 0.6.2.  You can either download and
install it from Bebian (as you did with the speech-dispatcher package)
or download and install the tarball from the Freebsoft website (see below).

Yes, this is a packaging problem.  If you download the Speech Dispatcher
tarball, python bindings are included.  In Debian and Ubuntu, however,
they are in a separate package...

No, it should work with python 2.4.
