compilation error. AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init'
Question: Here is my small program,

    
    
    import pygame
    pygame.init()
    

Here is my compilation command.

> python myprogram.py

Compilation error,

    
    
      File "game.py", line 1, in 
        import pygame
      File "/home/ubuntu/Documents/pygame.py", line 2, in 
        pygame.init()
    AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init'
    

I have pygame installed in my ubuntu, It is installed in

    
    
    /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pygame
    

I found tht from IDLE, If I execute both of this statements, It works fine.


Answer: Delete the "pygame.py" file in your Documents folder, it is shadowing the real
pygame you've installed.

It looks like you first saved your small test program as "pygame.py", then
renamed it to "game.py".
