Describe the issue
Target was to install cloud speech SDK in CentOS 6.6. and run the transcribe_streaming.py sample. Installed python 2.7.12 and OS has 2.6.6.
When I try to install dependencies of cloud speech from requriements.txt, following error is thrown.
bash-4.1$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Downloading/unpacking grpcio==1.0.4 (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Running setup.py egg_info for package grpcio
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 16, in <module>
File "/tmp/pip-build-ck40283/grpcio/setup.py", line 42, in <module>
import sysconfig
ImportError: No module named sysconfig
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-ck40283/grpcio
Storing complete log in /home/ck40283/.pip/pip.log
Error suggests that sysconfig is not available in the python env but the command line doesn't throw an error when it is imported.
bash-4.1$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec 20 2016, 18:17:56)

>>> import sysconfig

When individual modules in requirements.txt is attempted to be installed, only the following module were giving errors. Rest for installed without errors.
grpcio==1.0.4
PyAudio==0.2.9
What could be the reason and how could this be resolved?

Got it sorted out. It was an issue with python 2.6.6 that I was having. I updated the python to 2.7.12 and used it to create a virtual environment.
bash-4.1$ virtualenv -p python2.7 envDependencies got installed correctly except pyaudio. Issue could be due to portaudio not been installed in CentOS. For now, I can live with it as I'm working on using arecord / alsa for streaming audio to cloud speech API. See #728

Yeah - the portaudio dependency is a pain, but necessary for cross-platform device support. Hopefully getting alsa to work will be easier :-)

When I ran into this, it was caused by having /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/ conflicting with /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py. Erasing the directory allowed everything to work as before. I assume a pip install was the cause, but don't know which package.
