libVLC Python giving errors on primary PC

[blackrain197]

I am working on a media player for a school project, and I wanted to use the VLC library for python; however for some reason it gives me an error on my main PC. I installed it on my laptop and it works there with no issues. All my code is right now is:

import vlc
import time

player = vlc.MediaPlayer('Africa.mp4')
player.play()
time.sleep(15)

This code should just play the first 15 seconds of the video and stop. Anytime I try to use any methods associated with vlc, it gives me this same error, which you can see below:

I have tried reinstalling the vlc library, reinstalling python, and reinstalling VLC media player as well as clearing its cache and history. If anyone could shed some light on what the error means and how I can remedy it, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Looks like you're missing some needed modules, but

VLC media player - version 0.9.6

Please upgrade to version 3.x and try again.
