I am trying to install PyAudio on Python 3.7.

Problem is when I try a simple import pyaudio it prints :

Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first.

According to this post, the problem could be solved by downloading he binaries and installing the wheels.

However pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl only shows :

Cannot uninstall 'PyAudio'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Is there any other way to delete completely PyAudio to try the first solution, or do I have to manually build PortAudio ?

I am running Windows 10 64bit.

Here is how I managed to solve my problem :

I delete PyAudio and Portaudio files in the libraries folder manually.

Then, as described here, I went on this downloaded the .whl and installed it with the Windows command : pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

It seems to work fine since I have no more error output.
