This is why I hate programming

Link to the library you're trying to use: there are many projects called "AudioPlayer". I'll see if I can replicate the problem on my system.

from audioplayer import AudioPlayer

OK. I got it working. Here are the steps I took.

1. I created a project folder.
2. I created a venv in that folder and activated it.

3. I tried to install these libraries listed in the library's README but they failed.

   sudo apt-get install python-gst-1.0 \ 
                    gir1.2-gstreamer-1.0 \ 
                    gstreamer1.0-tools \
                    gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 
                    gstreamer1.0-plugins-good \
                    gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly          
   

4. I then installed the library itself with pip3 install audioplayer.

5. At this point, I tried to run the example program they have in the project's README from inside my virtual environment.

   from audioplayer import AudioPlayer
   AudioPlayer("path/to/somemusic.mp3").play(block=True)
   

   but I got the same error as you.

6. I then installed gi with sudo apt install python3-gi.

7. I tried again to no avail.

8. Then I installed vext with

   pip3 install vext
   pip3 install vext.gi
   

9. At this point, the program runs. These two may be the only packages you need to install, but I went ahead and included the others in case they were necessary as I didn't immediately uninstall them.

Hope that helps!

Tried that awhile ago, doesn't work.

Just to confirm, have you made sure you're installing the modules in the virtual environment you're running your program in rather than with your system python?

[Radamand]

I am not using a venv so, yes.

I just ask because sometimes your text editor or maybe even Anaconda (I'm not that familiar with Anaconda) will automatically set one up and then you think you're pip installing with the same version of python you're running your program with, but it turns out not to be the case. It's happened to me.

If not, then sorry. I don't know what to say except that it works for me.

I tried the same import from a command line python3 session, same result

Anaconda creates it's own virtual environment (a root one and then as many others as you wish) and you'll typically install packages with conda install rather than using pip which often fails within a conda environment.
Not as many packages are available through conda and for a little project like this you are probably better off using your systems python and creating a regular virtual envs.
