Question

I am using Python 2.7.12 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I tried installing pyaudio and pygsr by using commands

sudo pip install -U pyaudio
sudo pip install -U pygsr

and I got the output (error) as below:

Well, I solved the problem by using the package manager,

 $ sudo apt-get install python-pyaudio

Although still has no clue why easy_install fails.

what about 'pygsr' module..?? – shiva Mar 14 '17 at 10:23
it is included in the package :) – JPZ Mar 14 '17 at 10:34
try this link https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pygsr if error still exist :) – JPZ Mar 14 '17 at 10:35
while i am importing 'pygsr' it throws error like 'ImportError: No module named pygsr' – shiva Mar 14 '17 at 10:50
