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

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