Not able to install any packages I've tried VLC package from https://wiki.videolan.org/python_bindings and got a traceback.

Now I am trying pygame module and this is what i get 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    import pygame
  File "C:\Users\Vineeth\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\pygame\__init__.py", line 133, in <module>
    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Please help i am pretty new to python

There are some release binaries for Python3.x, 64bit Windows at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame

I suggest you download it from that site and install it. It works for me. If you are using Windows ,it is a good way to install some packages,like lxml matplotlib.

Also you check out this question.

Hope this helps.

I tried to execute your statements and the imports worked fine for me. I have a 64bit Windows OS. And my python version Python 3.5.2 - 64bit.

Check if you have other Python versions, if you have removed them, make sure you did that right.

Ultimately I would just suggest you to do pip install pygame. The version compatibility will be handled by pip itself.

  • I tried pip then i get this error C:\Users\Vineeth\Downloads>pip install pygame-1.9.3-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl Requirement already satisfied: pygame==1.9.3 from file:///C:/Users/Vineeth/Downloads/pygame-1.9.3-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl in c:\users\vineeth\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib – Vineeth Sai Jan 22 '17 at 10:35
  • Only type out `pip install pygame`. Don't add any additional information. – sleepcoffeedelight Jan 22 '17 at 10:37
  • yea i did the same thing , But its not working , whenever i type import pygame in python IDLE I get the same error again – Vineeth Sai Jan 22 '17 at 10:41
  • What is your OS configuration and Python configuration? Perform `pip uninstall pygame` and then try to install `pip install pygame`. Also open the command prompt as administrator. – sleepcoffeedelight Jan 22 '17 at 10:42
  • Windows 10 64 bit and Python 3.6 – Vineeth Sai Jan 22 '17 at 10:44
  • cant upvote :( I still dont have 15 rep , but accepted the answer! – Vineeth Sai Jan 22 '17 at 10:58
  • @VineethSai Also in the future, it is best to just `pip install [modulename]`. And certain privileges that don't work unless you Run as Administrator. – sleepcoffeedelight Jan 22 '17 at 11:03
