Package installed but still says ImportError No module named pygame locals

Question

I have been getting this error while trying to make a game using pygame.

ImportError: No module named pygame.locals

This thread says that I need to install that module. And I followed those and steps and installed it. In fact, I even got an installation success message. But when I try to run the code again, I still get the same error.

What is the issue?

Can you show your initial part of the code?

from pygame.locals import *
import pygame

class Player:
    x = 10
    y = 10
    speed = 1

    def moveRight(self):
        self.x = self.x + self.speed

    def moveLeft(self):
        self.x = self.x - self.speed

    def moveUp(self):
        self.y = self.y - self.speed

    def moveDown(self):
        self.y = self.y + self.speed

So Harsha, you Import the module first and then use it. Change the first two lines. 

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

This should eliminate the error

that doesn't work; it won't destroy the error. it's a problem of python thinking that pygame.locals isn't even a thing.

HI, @There,

My guess is that you have a file named pygame.py in the current directory in which you are running your script.
