Hi, one of my favorite things about the n900 is pygame. After installing pr1.2 it seems to be gone, I no longer can run any of the pygame apps I have been messing with. It's kind of a bummer..

"ImportError: No module named pygame"

I tried "apt-get install pygame" but it returns "Couldn't find package pygame"

(Edit: resolved - was using wrong package name, should be python-pygame)

Can anyone advise me how I can get it back, or if it's something that needs updated and hopefully it'll be along in due course.

Thx.

The module is called python-pygame, and is in Extras

It's definitely showing up for you? I only get the following "python-"s

python-argparse
python-boto
python-circuits
python-mlpy
python-pygments
python-scapy
python-sympy

I have all the repositories enabled for the search.

hmmmph.

I haven't yet upgraded to PR1.2, so I can't actually test. I was merely referring to the fact "apt-get install pygame" is not going to work, but "apt-get install python-pygame" should (at least it does before 1.2).

You might also want to do a search with:
apt-cache search python-pygame
apt-cache show python-pygame

To see if it is already installed:
dpkg -l | grep pygame
and if it is maybe try reinstalling:
apt-get --reinstall python-pygame

Thanks Slocan, just as you were typing that I was able to install it through apt-get with the correct package name. Dam you Google! *shakes fist* ANyway, all's right in the world again.

Not sure why it wasn't showing up in the list though, oh well. Thanks again

It's because application manager doesn't show libraries. The ones you found would be considered broken if they were promoted to extras-testing because of wrong category.

Ok Guys

Post pr 1.3 I'm struggling with installing python-pygame
says its looking for libsdl1.2 which seems to have been replaced with libsdl1.3

does it need to be re-built?

bump

anyone got pygame working with pr1.3
maesynth is broken as a result
