I'm following the instructions of the tutorial (https://talkingphysics.wordpress.com/2018/06/11/learning-how-to-animate-videos-using-manim-series-a-journey/) but, when I type

(manim37) C:\Users\PaKo>python3 C:\Users\PaKo\Desktop\Python\3blue_1brown\manim-master\extract_scene.py C:\Users\PaKo\Desktop\Python\3blue_1brown\manim-master\example_scenes.py
SquareToCircle -pl

I get the following: (I'm working in python 3.7)

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'C:'

Can you help me to solve this issue so I can visualize the video? Thank you in advanced,

The tutorial you are speaking of was posted a few months earlier from your post, and they have a notice:

Important Note:  These posts are based on an earlier version of manim which uses Python 2.7.  
The latest version of manim is using Python 3.  
To follow along with these posts, use Python 2.7 and the May 9, 2018 commit of manim.

I'd put high odds on the instructions in there being outdated.

It's unlikely that you haven't already solved the problem by now, but for posterity I'll try to answer your question:

If you have installed manim correctly, you are probably just entering the wrong command. The command for running manim has changed, so I would recommend cd-ing into your manim installation directory (manim-master if you downloaded from github) and running:

python -m manim example_scenes.py SquareToCircle -pl instead of what you previously entered.

It may also be possible that you installed the python3 version of manim while you are running with python2. Try python3 instead of python instead in that case.
