issue with using PocketSphinx from python on Raspberry pi (Raspbian)

[Mo Valli]

Hi,
I have install the latest pocket sphinx 5 pre-alpha from the repository and have got it working using pocketsphinx_continuous.

However, when I try using it from python, I get the following error

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pocket2.py", line 47, in <module>
recognised = decodeSpeech(hmdir,lmd,dictd,wavfile)
File "./pocket2.py", line 21, in decodeSpeech
speechRec = ps.Decoder(hmm = hmmd, lm = lmdir, dict = dictp)
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'hmm'

below is the typical sample code I have found from the net

import sys,os

def decodeSpeech(hmmd,lmdir,dictp,wavfile):

try:

    import pocketsphinx as ps

    import sphinxbase

except:

    print """Pocket sphinx and sphixbase is not installed

    in your system. Please install it with package manager.

    """

speechRec = ps.Decoder(hmm = hmmd, lm = lmdir, dict = dictp)

wavFile = file(wavfile,'rb')

wavFile.seek(44)

speechRec.decode_raw(wavFile)

result = speechRec.get_hyp()

return result[0]

if name == "main":

hmdir = "/usr/local/share/pocketsphinx/model/en-us/en-us"

lmd = "1019.lm"

dictd = "1019.dic"

wavfile = "test.wav"

recognised = decodeSpeech(hmdir,lmd,dictd,wavfile)

print recognised

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any help appriciated.
