#97977 — started writing pygame

Hi All,

I just started learning pygame :)
Facing issue while running the code after installing game from the site (http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?lang=en&chapter=introduction_to_graphics)- 5.9 Open a Blank Window

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pygame_base_template.py", line 4, in <module>
    import pygame
  File "/usr/utils/python/3.4.3/custommodules/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: /usr/utils/python/3.4.3/custommodules/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pygame/base.cpython-34m.so: undefined symbol: PyCObject_FromVoidPtr

Thanks in advance..

i'm mainly a PHP man but wanted to get into Python. Personally if you just started pygame I would consider Livewires which has a lower learning curve.This book has a heavy bias towards graphics & games whilst still going through concepts of python object programming.i recommend it.! 

http://www.amazon.com/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-3rd/dp/1435455002/ref=sr_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1446056048&sr=8-32&keywords=python

it might help if you post the content of your code for line 95.i'm no python expert but traceback  does mention something not installed or something not imported properly!

can any one let me know where i am going wrong, actually i used yum to install libraries/dependencies and downloaded source and compiled to specified location, where there is no chance of improper installation, whatever the dependent package are not available through yum,it just thrown warning as not available... if any one having process to install pygame very smooth in linux including all dependencies, can you share...

@captain 
i have tried the link given in the book to download the software and its redirecting to some other third party site...

mmm if your using yum that probably means your using Fedora Linux? the same distro as Linux Torvalds! Too clever for me , i just use Slackware14.1 but at least I control whats on my system and how it gets on my system!for pygame its a complete package!

For Livewires I have the files , so just reply to me privately to which email account you want the files sending. I would have thought Fedora would have a package for pygame on its repo somewhere rather than installing from source.manual install might have more control "make, make install" and all that stuff!
