Pocket sphinx + python 3

[A.B.C.]

I am trying to run pocketsphinx with Python 3: https://github.com/bambocher/pocketsphinx-python

More specifically, I am trying to decode streaming data with the following code on a Mac:

from os import environ, path

from sphinxbase.sphinxbase import Config
from pocketsphinx.pocketsphinx import Decoder

MODELDIR = "../../../model"
DATADIR = "../../../test/data"

# Create a decoder
config = Decoder.default_config()
config.set_string('-hmm', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/en-us'))
config.set_string('-lm', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/en-us.lm.dmp'))
config.set_string('-dict', path.join(MODELDIR, 'en-us/cmudict-en-us.dict'))
decoder = Decoder(config)

# Decode streaming data.
decoder = Decoder(config)
decoder.start_utt()
decoder.set_rawdata_size(100000);
stream = open(path.join(DATADIR, 'goforward.raw'), 'rb')
while True:
  buf = stream.read(1024)
  print(type(buf))
  if buf:
    decoder.process_raw(buf, False, False)
  else:
    break
decoder.end_utt()
print('Stream decoding result:', decoder.hyp().hypstr)

However, I am receiving the following error message:

<class 'bytes'="">
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_dec.py", line 84, in <module>
decoder.process_raw(buf, False, False)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pocketsphinx-0.0.4-py3.4-macosx-10.6-intel.egg/pocketsphinx/pocketsphinx.py", line 389, in process_raw
return _pocketsphinx.Decoder_process_raw(self, SDATA, no_search, full_utt)
TypeError: in method 'Decoder_process_raw', argument 2 of type 'void const *</module></class>

The same happens when I decode data from the microphone. Any thoughts on this?

Python3 is not well supported yet. You can use Python2

FYI, I've just committed the support for python3 in trunk. If you compile pocketsphinx-python as part of pocketsphinx package or from http://cmusphinx/pocketpshinx/pocketsphinx-python it will work with Python3.
