Your problem appears to be that you do not know how to associate
an action (the press of the button) with the code you want to run
( tts.Speak ('hello molly') ).
Tk buttions have a command attribute that is called when the button
is clicked:

self.button1[ 'command' ] = HelloMolly
Where HelloMolly is an already defined python callable, for example:

def HelloMolly():
self.tts.Speak ('hello molly')

The above defenition of HelloMolly requires that somtime before it
is called, self.tts is created:

self.tts = pyTTS.Create()

HTH.

Rob.
