How to install the VLC module in Python

Question

I was trying to install VLC using PIP, but get the following error:

pip install VLC

Downloading/unpacking vlc
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement vlc
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for vlc
Storing complete log in C:\Users\rakeshb4\pip\pip.log

have you tried installing this one pypi.python.org/pypi/python-vlc — coder3521

Can you install any packages at all that way? This looks like a networking problem. — Ulrich Eckhardt

Did you try pip search vlc ? It has some useful hints about the VLC module (in particular that it's for a Mac), perhaps there's some other modules you can use. — nos

The packages vlc seems to have currently issues on pypi. However, you are on Windows and this package appears to be for MacOS only (based on description).

Try python-vlc instead.
