I am trying to run a script that was given to me and when i try to run it, I am given the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\XX\Documents\XX\Project\Experiments\Y-Maze\Data\M06\ymaze_working_script1.py", line 74, in <module>
from playback import Playback
ImportError: No module named playback
Code that this error is from:
#################################################################
### DON'T EDIT FROM HERE ###
from ymaze_track import MouseTracker
from ymaze_mark import Marker
from ymaze_track import FileHandler
import os
import csv
 import numpy as np
 import time
 from tkFileDialog import askopenfilenames
 import sys
 import Tkinter as tk
 from playback import Playback
Is playback a module that needs to be added to python or is inbuilt in? and if so - where can I find it?

playback is not a standard python module so you must add it to your own system python modules
You can do this with run pip install playback
If you got other errors same as the error you described you can find package installation command by
searching in https://pypi.org/
And if your python code has requirement text file which most of the times named
requirements.txt
You can run pip install -r requirements.txt
For installing all needed package easily
                To do this, should i have a file called "playback" to install? On previous occassions when I installed other modules I had to input the file name of the module that I wanted to install along with the pip command in the command line.

playback is not a standard python module, so you have to install it to use it. Run this command from the command line:
pip install playback
If that doesn't work, this should:
py -m pip install playback
Here is a tutorial on using pip to install python modules.
