Error importing Python module pocketsphinx

[Vesselin Kostadinov]

Pretty much stock standard Ubuntu 14.04 AMD64 with no manually compiled software and no manually installed python modules.

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pocketsphinx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "sphinxbase.pxd", line 150, in init pocketsphinx (pocketsphinx.c:7935)
ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with invalid PyCapsule object

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I get the same error message when I attempt to import pocketsphinx in python, after installing python-pocketsphinx 0.8.0+real-0ubuntu6 on Ubuntu 14.04. (The problem is also present on Ubuntu Utopic)

I have the same bug on the same setup. Trying to import it a second time works for me weirdly, though, so I'm just using try/except to work around this for the moment.

These errors (PyCapsule errors) can be fixed by re-running the Cython generation with a more recent Cython. Not sure whether that should be happening at the Ubuntu or upstream level.

No news? It's two year old!!!

I'm not maintaining PocketSphinx anymore, but I can answer the question
about Ubuntu vs. upstream - upstream source clearly includes both the .c
and the .pyx file, so technically they should be the ones to re-run
Cython. But I don't think it is a problem if Ubuntu just recompiles it

Rebuilding the Cython stuff isn't done by default when compiling. IIRC
there is a configure flag for it. You should probably just turn it on in
debian/rules.

The package in eoan is now Python3, please try again and set back to "new" if you still have this issue
