Awesome!
Richard, if you hang around this mailing list for a while, you will soon
see that we tutors have a lot of trouble convincing newbies to post the
entire traceback, not just the error message. But this is the first time
that somebody has posted the traceback EXCEPT for the error message.
Well done, you win the Internet :-)
Please try again and post the entire traceback, including the error
message at the end.
Thank you.
And now you see my dilemma. That's the error message, the whole bloody
thing. But for ye unbelievers out there, here's my entire screen, from the
call to the crash:

KeyboardInterrupt
See that KeyboardInterrupt line? That was missing from your first post.
You get that because you have hit Ctrl-C, which is Python's way of halting the
running code (if possible). If you don't want this exception, then don't hit
Ctrl-C.
Which of course brings you to a dilemma -- the software tells you to use Ctrl-C
to stop recording, but it apparently lies. I suggest that it is buggy. Looking
at the source code to the library, here:
https://github.com/jeysonmc/python-google-speech-scripts/blob/master/stt_google.py
I'm pretty sure it is buggy. There is no attempt to catch the Ctrl-C and
continue processing. I could be wrong, because I haven't actually tested it or
studied it in detail, but I can't see how this could possibly work as
advertised.
Also the library includes something which gives me the absolute heebie-jeebies:
it downloads a website from the Internet, then *executes it as code* without
making any attempt to see what it is. If you run this library, you are giving
Google, or anyone that manages to intercept your connection to Google, carte
blanche to run ANY CODE THEY LIKE on your computer. I wouldn't touch that
library with a fifty-foot pole until that is fixed.
