pkgutil.ImpImporter not found installing pyaudio on Python 3.12 [duplicate]

Question

I tried to build an AI program which I followed a video on youtube but I got error. When I try to "pip install pyaudio" and then I got that error. I have got that "pip install numpy" and " pip install wheel" but that things weren't fix my troubles.

pip version: 23.2.1 python version: 3.12.0

C:\Users\admin!>pip install pyaudio

How can I fix that troubles. Please help me. Thanks you all.

Answer 1

I just updated the virtualenv:

pip install --upgrade virtualenv

After that create a new virtual environment using:

virtualenv venv --python=python3.12

Activate the virtual environment "venv" and it should be working and able to install your packages.
