ImportError: No module named media

wxPython Users

Hi,

I’m importing wx.media to play a video, however the import fails with this error: ImportError: No module named media

My import lines are:

import wx

import wx.media

I’m on raspberry pi and wxpython is working fine. My python version is 2.7.9 installed with wxgtk2.8 and wxgtk3.0. I can also see a media.py file in my /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wxPython folder.

Can anyone suggest a workaround? I’m trying to play a video on the panel.

Thank you in advance,

Fazil

Did you build wxPython yourself? Are you sure you built the media module? There should be two other files:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_media.so
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/media.py

Thanks for reply Scott. I used package manager (apt-get) to install. I do not see those two files you mentioned. Do you think I should reinstall manually?

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n libwxgtk2.8-dev

Linux raspberrypi 4.1.17-v7+
Rasbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)

I think its very similar to debian.

That's weird. Debian jessie should have wxPython 3.0. Do they perhaps have 3.0 also? Can you try installing that?

Once you do that, it looks like the media module is packaged separately. You'll need to install python-wxgtk-media3.0 as well.

It also has wxPython3.0. I installed media module as you suggested using “apt-get install python-wxgtk-media3.0”.

Now import wx.media is working. Thank you very much Scott!

Hi Fazil,Scott

I started with the same ‘module not found’
with import wx.media

My setup is python2.7.12, wxpython 3.0.2.0
gtk2 classic.

OS is linux
4.9 .58-71-arm7l-with-Ubuntu-16.04-xenial.ubuntu 16.04 xenial

Hardware is Odroid XU4

install python-wxgtk-media3.0 failed, ‘unable to fetch some archives’ (ubuntu-ports…)

Any ideas how I might replicate your
successful outcome?

Thanks for any advice, Graham.

It looks like you're trying to use the Ubuntu packages. What's the full error message that you're getting from 'apt-get install python-wxgtk-media3.0 ?

For some reason your computer can't resolve ports.ubuntu.com so your installation of the packages fails. I don't know why that is happening. Perhaps you can try a different DNS server, or try again later.
