Solution 1:

Since App Engine flex is based on docker you'll have to install dependencies from the Dockerfile. In this case you'd have to customize the App Engine Python Dockerfile to add all the libraries PyAudio might need. You could look at some Dockerfiles containing PyAudio Sample1 & Sample2.

I could go over the error by adding the following dependencies and libraries in the Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
        vim \
        curl \
        wget \
        git \
        make \
        netcat \
        python \
        python2.7-dev \
        g++ \
        bzip2 \
        binutils
