When I install python-pocketsphinx, python doesn't recognize that a version of pocketsphinx is installed.
Although the package still works - I can import and use pocketsphinx fine - it causes issues when other python libraries
depend on the package, as it tries to find the package but won't run because it doesn't recognize the package as installed.
I think that this is related to not having a, for example, pocketsphinx-0.8.egg_info/ directory with a PKG-INFO file
and other related informational files. However, I'm not entirely sure.

Hello,

I guess this is this:

$ python
...
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pocketsphinx' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Probably something like that, yes.  Upstream however doesn't use
setuptools any more, and doesn't distribute eggs any more. I have
reported the issue upstream

Hi,

Upstream reported it doesn't know what needs to be done. Maybe we should
ask for help at one of the python teams?
