It might be worth backing up your uSD image, and then setting up a fresh copy of Raspbian (not the lite edition)

> **[Download Raspbian for Raspberry Pi](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)**
>
> Raspbian is the Foundation's official supported operating system. You can install it with NOOBS or download the image below.

It looks like you’re missing some of the dependencies for the python code. Check the “import” statements in the program to see what is needed, and then install the missing libraries.
