I was trying out some tutorials in pygame.  I'm using kubuntu 8.04.1 with python
(2.5.2-0ubuntu1) and pygame (1.7.1release-4.1ubuntu1).

A simple tute ( last example of code at http://rene.f0o.com/mywiki/LectureThree
) gave a AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init' error.

I could get on the road to learning if only I could get my first serious program
to run.  I'm despairing over the possibility that I have the wrong version of
python or pygame.  And tutes are supposed to work, aren't they? :)

thanks

What did you type, exactly?

I was willing to help and would download the pygame package, but alas it was
already installed! :)

So, I just opened a python shell, and typed:

>>> import pygame

all ok.

>>> dir( pygame )

init is listed there

>>> pygame.init
<built-in function init>

so far, so good.

>>> pygame.init
(6,0)

and I also heard a slight click on the audio, meaning it probably initialized
its audio engine or whatever.

So, it worked here and I don't have a clue what may have happened to you, sorry.
