Is pip installed with your normal python install. When you install it there should be a option that says `Add Python (VERSION) to PATH`. Did you do this? If not try reinstalling the normal python (not pycharm) and add python to path — Mark dG, Nov 27 '20 at 08:46
It reads like a network error! I am not sure why `getaddrinfo` would fail tho — urban, Nov 27 '20 at 08:51
If you look at the error "Failed to establish a new connection", it appears you cannot to the pypi website. Try to do "pip -v install pyaudio" to get more output to find out why it is not working. Are you for example behind a proxy? — RvdK, Nov 27 '20 at 08:52
@urban thanks for the edit I can see its a HTTPS error as well now. Would it be server sided? I doubt it. — Mark dG, Nov 27 '20 at 08:53
