Error using PyAudio and SpeechRecognition python 2 in Anaconda

Question

'Here is my code:'

    import speech_recognition as sr  

    # get audio from the microphone

IOError: [Errno -9999] Unanticipated host error

Did you allow python to access your mic? New windows versions have access control built into `Settings > Privacy > Microphone`. [Check this](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-set-up-and-test-microphones-in-windows-10-ba9a4aab-35d1-12ee-5835-cccac7ee87a4).

Yeah I ran the same code a day before and it was accessing my mic fine, but then when I ran it the next day I started getting this error with PyAudio — Gia Mancini, Nov 26 '20 at 23:27
I hope one of these helps you ( [1](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44730445/8560442) [2](https://stackoverflow.com/q/43841316/8560442) ). If that didn't work, let us know. — B_Dex_Float, Nov 27 '20 at 08:41

if (not os.environ.get('PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY', '') and getattr(ssl, '_create_unverified_context', None)):
