Install from the linked page pypi.python.org/pypi/python-vlc. You can use pip or download and install manually. — mhawke

You first have to install python-vlc on the raspberry (as mentioned in the comments) with pip

sudo pip install python-vlc

Then you can import the python module

import vlc

Finally, I managed to import vlc module. Thanks for that. But now i got struck with some other error which is (No module named Pathlib). I am using python 2.7. Any suggestions? @salomonderossi
