Error reading audio with python on Ubuntu 14.04

When running the following code using python 2.7 (in Ubuntu 14.04)

import pyaudio
p = pyaudio.PyAudio()

I get the following exception:

Your help would be highly appreciated

Do you have bluez-alsa package installed? If so remove it, and re-test. Should get rid of the errors.

If not there is also some discussion here (https://github.com/Katee/quietnet/issues/18) that might be helpful.

ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred

The underun is likely caused because pulseaudio is already accessing 
the card - you can pause it using http://linux.die.net/man/1
/pasuspender. In general to avoid such deadlock, you need a 
soundserver like jackd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/What%20is%20JACK, but you already figured this out from the following log
entries in your trace ;-) (apt-get install jackd)
