Problem description
Is it safe to assume that if a package is available to install, it would be a bug if it doesn’t? 
Because I don’t know system engineering or whatever it’s called, i worry about bothering you guys with something that’s not truly a bug - but I balanced that concern with the fact that you guys mentioned that if there’s really a bug you’d really like to know about it so you can fix it. Because I did the following before posting this, it SEEMS more likely than not to be a bug? But I am not sure. It should be easy for you guys to replicate though, so hopefully it won’t take you long to see what i am seeing. Thanks for your help!
Things I tried to get it to work:
- pip install pyaudio
- asked Replit AI for help (followed all the suggestions, and we couldn’t get it to work)
- asked ChatGPT4 for help (followed all the suggestions, and we couldn’t get it to work)
- tried two different browsers, just to be sure:
- Google Chrome Version 123.0.6312.124 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- Microsoft Edge Version 124.0.2478.51 (Official build) (64-bit)
- wanted to try adding portaudio manually, but wasn’t sure how
Expected behavior
I would like to be able to install pyaudio (so I can use the speech recognition package to get user input from a microphone).
Here’s the link to a fresh page where I was able to replicate the problem after opening up a new Python repl: https://replit.com/@ErikaWang1/Test
Hopefully (or not hopefully??) you will be able to reproduce it?
Actual behavior
Here is what showed up in the console after the install didn’t complete (I tried pip wheel --use-pep517 "pyaudio (==0.2.14)", like it recommends at the end and got a whole other error message in the shell :o)
--> poetry add 'PyAudio ==0.2.14'

Note: This error originates from the build backend, and is likely not a problem with poetry but with pyaudio (0.2.14) not supporting PEP 517 builds. You can verify this by running 'pip wheel --use-pep517 "pyaudio (==0.2.14)"'.
