Are you running two different versions of Python? If you are, then perhaps apt-
get installed it for the system Python, but you're running a different version.

If your Raspberry Pi is running "locate", you can run this:

locate site-packages


and it will show you all the third-party Python packages installed in the 
standard location. Can you see pocketsphinx? If not, then it is not installed.

Once you are sure it is installed, try running these lines at the Python 
prompt, one at a time, and tell us exactly what happens:


import pocketsphinx


If there is no error, what does this give?0

print (pocketsphinx.__file__)


(There are TWO underscores at the start and end of "file".)

DON'T do that. You **do not** want to create a module called "pocketsphinx.py". 
If you have, that may be your problem. Call it something else, like "main.py" 
or "testps.py", or "mypocketsphinx.py".
