Import Vlc module in python

Question

I am trying to create a media player using vlc and python but it throws an Error which is No module named vlc. how to fix this?

download [vlc.py](http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings/python.git;a=tree;f=generated;b=HEAD) and put it in the same folder than your project. — , Jul 08 '16 at 11:44
@rsm - or into the `site-packages` for making it available for every python project. — linusg, Jul 08 '16 at 11:45

There is also python-vlc

Download the .tar.gz file into your project and unzip it. Once unzipped, run:

python setup.py install

This will install the python-vlc module for you and then try importing it in your python script.

P.S Make sure you are inside the unzipped folder and you can see the setup.py file.

The answer didn't work for me, using Mu 1.0.2 on a Raspberry Pi, this did however:

sudo pip3 install vlc

`sudo pip3 install python-vlc` worked for me. Did you mean `python-vlc`? – scenography May 27 '21 at 05:43

I had same (windows, Jupyter, Python 3). Think downloading the .exe file was the thing that fixed it
