Have you installed pyaudio?

3

yess i did.

4

Start by simplifying the problem.

Put something like:

import pyaudio
quit()

at the top.

If that raises an exception, then you’ll know that it’s the installation of pyaudio that’s the problem.

5

yes there’s some issue in installation but i’ve tried reinstalling everything, even rebuilding with different python versions but the issue still persists.

Please tell us your operating system and the OS version, exactly. And outline the steps you took to install pyaudio. Did you download it somewhere? Did you install it with the pip command?
