Temperature Code help? - 20AJ0931 - Apr-07-2017

Why is this working? -

import wmi

w = wmi.WMI(namespace="root\OpenHardwareMonitor")
    temperature_infos = w.Sensor()
    for sensor in temperature_infos:
        if sensor.SensorType==u'Temperature':
            if sensor.Name=='CPU Package':
                print( sensor.Name )
                print( sensor.Value )
but this isn't working-
import wmi

w = wmi.WMI(namespace='root\\wmi')
temperature = w.MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature()[0]
temperature = int(temperature.CurrentTemperature / 10.0 - 273.15)
print( temperature )
I am getting this error when I run the second code -

I don't know what this means. I am new to python and I need to find the temperature of my laptop for a project I am working on. I know I am making some mistake but cannot figure what mistake I am making. To all the experienced guys out there, can you help me? Any help would be appreciated.

Open the Command prompt as administrator and run the script from there

w = wmi.WMI(namespace='root\\wmi')
Change To:
w = wmi.WMI(namespace=r'root\wmi', privileges=["Security"])
Run code as administrator,testet Win-10 Python 36 okay for me.
