Pygame assertion error

Question

I get an error when I ran pygame and I am using pydroid 3.

This is the code:

https://code.sololearn.com/c0cFR3enAU8r/?ref=app

This is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/temp_iiec_codefile.py", line 2, in <module>
import pygame, sys
File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/pygame.py", line 15, in <module>
b = AlienInvasion()
File "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ru.iiec.pydroid3/files/pygame.py", line 6, in __init__
pygame.init()
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'pygame' has no attribute 'init' (most likely due to a circular import)

It does not make sense to me

Answer 1

"most likely due to a circular import"
Sounds like an issue with the import of pygame. Maybe there is some kind of issue caused by the fact that you first import the entire pygame module and then a submodule of pygame.

Answer 2

Simon Sauter, I figured it out.If anyone is reading this .please watch the way you name your files.I named my file pygame and circular import happened. Please be careful it can put you in a mess🙆‍♀️
