New conda enviornment for mpv still ModuleNotFoundError

I created a new conda environment for the conda-forge::mpv package with the result as below:

The install seemed to work but unfortunately when activating the new conda environment and importing the installed module I get the ModuleNotFoundError

(media) igor@XPS-13:~/Development/pymedia$ conda activate pymedia (pymedia) igor@XPS-13:~/Development/pymedia$ python Python 3.14.3 | packaged by Anaconda, Inc. | (main, Feb 24 2026, 22:51:43) [GCC 14.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mpv Traceback (most recent call last): File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module> import mpv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mpv' >>> quit()

So I had a look at the folders in my new conda environment where I found two folders containing mpv in the name:

~/anaconda3/envs/pymedia/share/doc/mpv

~/anaconda3/envs/pymedia/include/mpv

but those folder did not contain any python code.

Just configutation files, e.g. .conf and severals header files. The actual c-bindings for the mpv application is not part of the install.

Any tips on how to proceed, where to search for answer is helpful.

I have seen a similar issue, conda-forge/ompl-feedstock, where the response was:

"We currently do not build the Python bindings"
