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?

Answer 1

There is also python-vlc

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-vlc/1.1.2

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.

Answer 2

I had a same issue. You should try sudo pip install python-vlc

Answer 3

Install

$ sudo pip install python-vlc

Then you can import the python module

import vlc

Answer 4

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

sudo pip3 install vlc
