feat!: remove the extras module and the [extras] install option - #230
Merged
Conversation
Drop assemblyai/extras.py (MicrophoneStream, stream_file, file_from_stream) and the pyaudio extras_require for the major release. The SDK no longer captures audio — callers supply PCM chunks themselves. README streaming examples now pace files with a plain generator; tox no longer installs pyaudio.

pyaudio is no longer a test dependency now that the extras are gone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
