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.

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