ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64 (from versions: none)

Answer 1

Try this:

pip install pipwin
pipwin install pyaudio

pipwin is like pip, but it installs precompiled Windows binaries provided by Christoph Gohlke. Saves you a lot of manual googling and downloading.

Answer 2

Maybe this is not a solution to your error, but it is one of the easiest ways to install it on Windows.

You can simply grab the proper Wheel package based on current Python version from here and then install it with pip install <PyAudio‑0.2.11-...> . Also, there is no need to have MSVC installed.
