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

Answer 1

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.
