PyAudio compilation on Raspbian

Question

When trying to install pyaudio with pip install pyaudio on Raspbian, I get:

Collecting pyaudio
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyaudio
Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pyaudio to allow).
No distributions at all found for pyaudio

How to build pyaudio with Raspbian? Does it need a specific tool?

Did you ever try "pip install pyaudio --allow-external pyaudio --allow-unverified pyaudio"? — wreckgar23, Jun 06 '15 at 16:57

Try install with the package manager:

sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

Thanks @MalikBrahimi! Would you perhaps have an idea for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28865331/list-devices-with-pyaudio-on-raspberry-pi ? :) – Basj Mar 04 '15 at 21:41
No, I had no idea PyAudio could even list devices. Do you have appropriate drivers installed? Have you tried running now that PyAudio is properly installed? – Malik Brahimi Mar 04 '15 at 21:45
yes I tried with PyAudio installed, but I get these errors – Basj Mar 04 '15 at 21:51
That version from `apt-get` is obsolete. I really need to be able to compile it on my Raspberry Pi. – Basj Mar 05 '15 at 17:24

This works:

apt-get install jackd2 libjack-jackd2-0 qjackctl sonic-pi supercollider supercollider-server

git clone http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/git/pyaudio.git
cd pyaudio
python setup.py install

Remark: this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

would install pyaudio version 0.2.4, which doesn't support working with stream callback.
