Did you install pocketsphinx successfully?

If not, well, it should be obvious that you cannot import a package that is 
not installed. The pypi page lists the requirements:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pocketsphinx

Make sure that those for your system are fulfilled and then retry the 
install.

If yes, did you create a module called pocketsphinx.py to try out the 
library? Then rename your own module and remove the corresponding 
pocketsphinx.pyc.
