PyAudio dependent on portAudio?

[danieljay]

I've read some documentation on pyaudio but from what I understand it is dependent on portAudio. Am I correct ? Is this the proper way to run pyaudio on the pi?

I'm not sure what Portaudio is, but I use PyAudio just fine without it.

Hmm, now is it pyaudio or py-audio that we are talking about?

pyaudio/PyAudio: http://people.csail.mit.edu/hubert/pyaudio/ - "provides Python bindings for PortAudio"
