----------------------------------------

Cleaning up...

Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-vnFPg1/pyaudio/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-BIgurJ-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-vnFPg1/pyaudio

Storing debug log for failure in /home/pi/.pip/pip.log

Solution

Install 'python-dev' first and install 'pyaudio' as shown below.

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev

$ sudo pip install pyaudio
