v3.3.0 needs pyaudio but doesn't specify it as a dependency about deepgram-python-sdk HOT 8 CLOSED

That's actually a 100% intentional.

Please see:
#302

In case that issue isn't clear, on certain platforms, the pip install deepgram-sdk will fail if portaudio isn't installed. That would force people with a hard requirement to install portaudio just to use the SDK when they might not be interested in any of the examples that use it.

All the examples that use the Microphone have documentation in the README.md to install (like brew install portaudio or whatever it is for your platform) before running.

This wasn't a problem in version 3.2.7 which is why I am reporting it.

The problem seems to stem from the import which is done at the class-level here:

It attempts to import pyaudio as soon as the Microphone class is parsed by Python, which is done as soon as import deepgram is done.

Since that import is only used for type checking, it can instead be put in a conditional, so this isn't a problem. I'll make a PR in a moment to demonstrate.

ooooh you are reportng that it is giving you the error. now I see what you are saying. If you want to do the PR to remove the line, that would be awesome. Otherwise, I can.

Yep, exactly. See #419.

I think TYPE_CHECKING was introduced a little later in v3. I will need to see if this works for the supported versions of of the SDK.

@Tenzer would you happen to know if this works for 3.10? and I have been working on a side project on getting the SDK to work on 3.9 (because some have been complaining about this) but I haven't been able to devote a ton of time to it.

As mentioned here, typing.TYPING_CHECKING was added in Python 3.5.2 according to the documentation, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

@Tenzer thanks again for the PR. just posted a new release with this fix:
