Hey, I downloaded pygame but when I try to import pygame in the python intepreter it gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in -toplevel-
    import pygame
  File "C:/Python24\pygame.py", line 2, in -toplevel-
    from pygame.locals import *
ImportError: No module named locals

Can someone help me with this prob ? Thanks in advance =)

Did you install Pygame? If so, there should be a folder called C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pygame on your computer. Pygame is a package, there is no file called pygame.py, just the folder pygame and a file __init__.py in the folder declaring the package. This folder also contains locals.py, the module file you are looking for.

If you have Windows you should have downloaded the installer pygame-1.7.1release.win32-py2.4.exe and executed it.

When i ran "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\pygame " , there are many folders in it but not locals.py .

Hmm, locals.py is a short file that sets up the namespace "locals" for a bunch of pygame constants and functions:

(Toggle Plain Text)

"""Set of functions from PyGame that are handy to have in
the local namespace for your module"""

from pygame.constants import *
from pygame.rect import Rect
import pygame.color as color
Color = color.Color

What is the name of the file you downloaded from the Pygame site?

pygame-2.7.1release.win32-py2.4

Gunman · Nov 6th, 2005, 11:35 AM

Ya , Sane sent me that one , after the one i loaded from pygame.org gave me the same error .

Must be Sane's private connection with Pygame. Are you using Windows XP?

Sane can get .mp3 and .mid sound files to play with pygame. I just get errors even with the latest version (1.7.1).

Hard to believe that pygame1.7.1 for windows and python24 should not install properly. You may want to delete that old pygame folder manually and reinstall!
