In case you still need it or someone else would come across this question, I recently found this: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/

It uses Google Speech Recognition API.

Tested it on my MacBook OS X 10.8.5 / Python 3.4 - works fine when processing input from the microphone, supports different languages.

Keep in mind for some tasks it may require you to install additional modules, here's a quote from its requirements:

The first software requirement is Python 3.3 or better. This is required to use the library.

Additionally, it must be 32-bit Python if you are using the included PyAudio binaries. It is also technically possible though inconvenient to compile PyAudio for 64-bit Python.

If you want to use the Microphone class (necessary for recording from microphone input), PyAudio is also necessary. If not installed, the library will still work, but Microphone will be undefined.

The official PyAudio builds seem to be broken on Windows. As a result, in the installers folder you will find unofficial builds for Windows that actually work. Run installers/PyAudio-0.2.7.win32-py3.3.exe for Python 3.3 and PyAudio-0.2.7.win32-py3.4.exe for Python 3.4.

A FLAC encoder is required to encode the audio data to send to the API. If using Windows or Linux, the encoder is already bundled with this library. Otherwise, ensure that you have the flac command line tool, which is often available through one's system package manager.
