How to play a song from the internet using python

Question

I am trying to use PyQt4 and Phonon (on windows 8 64 bits) to play a song from the internet (streaming, ex: http://dr5huvbk6x9di.cloudfront.net/cloudfront_songs/file4.ogg )

To play a song from the filesystem is working, but when I try to play from the internet it doesn't. I read the documentation and it seems everything is fine. The error is a FatalError, so is hard to understand what is going on. Phonon can't play the song from the internet?

Another questions is that I read that phonon has been deprecated and we have PyQt5. So, which is the best way to do what I am trying to do.

Here is my code. It is a little bit messy because I just wanted to work, so I could understand and then make it better. Thank you

The answer was installing codecs to play .ogg files. Thanks to @ekhumoro.
