Answer 1

You are getting urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

the .whl for pyaudio is not available at the URL pipwin is trying to download it from

Try doing pipwin refresh before doing the installation

see this github issue

Alternatively, You can download the .whl directly from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio and do

pip install <path-to-downloaded-whl>
