[BRLTTY] Problem with speech.c

[Christopher Gray]

Hi Mario:

I followed the Orca instructions for braille, and near the end of them a command 
is given 
from Python; something about "import brltty".  That command gives me no errors. 
For that reason partly, I believe the answer to your question is "yes".

Also, braille is working with orca, at least in the initial preferences dialog 
now.  I never got 3.7.2 to work with it; but 3.8 is great.  So, for these two 
reasons I think the Python bindings are fine.

It is at a command line prompt that I get this "not in text mode" error.  I hope 
this is helpful information.

I made the mistake of trying to enable Orca on startup in Ubuntu.  Not good!
