Attribute error in python

Question

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'fileno'
this happens when i run a snakes game source code...i am using windows 8

Answer 1

no code. let me guess.

The object on which you are looking up the attribute turns out to be a None and you have no clue why.

Perhaps your code is too long to read here. Start with print calls. Print anything you suspect is making your object a None. Also, learn to use PDB. Logging is a good idea too. In fact you can use logging instead if print calls.

Answer 2

the print call shows the error at the first line of the program after import random and curses.
i think the curses that i have installed is not compatible with Windows 8
