• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

[mellow flower]

[mellow flower]

[twin nebula]

@proper sleet Did you name your directory the same name as one of the modules the script uses?

[proper sleet]

wdym? (sorry if i dont know this am new to python)

[twin nebula]

That's the file name

[proper sleet]

yea

[twin nebula]

It's not a Python thing per se, it's more of a computer thing.

Do you know what a folder/directory is?

[proper sleet]

oh

ye

[twin nebula]

What is the name of the folder the script is in?

[proper sleet]

is this what your asking??

[solid nacelle]

okay

u shouldnt be coding in the downloads folder

there are probably more files there

that are interfering with ur code

[proper sleet]

oh

[solid nacelle]

make a new folder

and move code.py there

[proper sleet]

okokok

ok done

now i run it and see if it works?

[mellow flower]

yes

[proper sleet]

hmm

[solid nacelle]

did u move it?

[proper sleet]

yes i did

i moved it to a folder

[mellow flower]

how did you install python? how did you install pyautogui?

[proper sleet]

pip install pyautogui

in python cmd

[mellow flower]

can you run py -0 in cmd

[proper sleet]

okok

and send the output

[proper sleet]

it shouldnt be long

[proper sleet]

give me a min

this is going to take a while

this is so long D:

😭 this is too long

[twin nebula]

What's too long?

[proper sleet]

tree /a

like i cant find anything

[twin nebula]

Are you doing it from inside the folder you created?

[proper sleet]

oh

[mellow flower]

doesnt look like it from that last img

[twin nebula]

🙃

[proper sleet]

oh

[solid nacelle]

u didnt move the code file?

[proper sleet]

no?

you said

[solid nacelle]

i asked u to

why would i ask u to just make a folder 💀

[solid nacelle]

here

[proper sleet]

i did that i made a new foler and moves the code.py to there?

[solid nacelle]

but it isnt shown in the img

[proper sleet]

let me try again

so i go to my folder that i saved my code.py

i right click and press on cmd

then i typed in tree /a

[solid nacelle]

yes

[proper sleet]

thats it?

correct?

[mellow flower]

nobody cares about your username

and yes thats correct

[proper sleet]

then

uh

what next :D

[solid nacelle]

now try running

[proper sleet]

ok

its running

now when i press P to start

[solid nacelle]

👍

[proper sleet]

it stoped

[solid nacelle]

error?

[proper sleet]

again same error :(

[solid nacelle]

can u show the full traceback

!traceback

[left jasper]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[proper sleet]

am in visual studio code

where do i find this?

[solid nacelle]

in ur terminal

[twin nebula]

Why are you running it in visual studio code?

[proper sleet]

whats wrong with running that??

dose it not work properly?

[twin nebula]

I just thought you were trying to run the script from the terminal.

[proper sleet]

oh

nop

[twin nebula]

Maybe I misunderstood.

[solid nacelle]

vscode is easier to run with

btw

when u moved the file

did u reopen it in vsc

[proper sleet]

ye

i closed program

then reopen

[solid nacelle]

can u open cmd prompt

and type

code .

[proper sleet]

done

[solid nacelle]

now run with that

[proper sleet]

okokok

[solid nacelle]

vscode should have opened

[proper sleet]

yes i did

um

same thing 😔

[solid nacelle]

can u show the full thing

pls

not just the last line

[proper sleet]

sure

[mellow flower]

the MS version of python

[solid nacelle]

haha

[mellow flower]

is known to cause issues at time

[proper sleet]

o h

[mellow flower]

i'd uninstall that and reinstall from python.org

[proper sleet]

so unistall vsc?

[solid nacelle]

avg ms experience

[solid nacelle]

no

u uninstall python

from the microsoft store

[proper sleet]

oh okokok

[solid nacelle]

and download from

[proper sleet]

ooh

[solid nacelle]

https://www.python.org/downloads

[proper sleet]

okokok

umm

where the unistall button?

i went on the ms store and there no unistall button

[twin nebula]

It's in add/remove programs

[proper sleet]

ooh

and python launcher also?

[mellow flower]

yes

just in case

[solid nacelle]

preferably

[proper sleet]

okok :)

python is silly

[solid nacelle]

nah

microsoft python is silly

[proper sleet]

oki

DONE

now install the python from website

ok now it doing it

now i wait :)

and then after that test the program and see if it works

man python takes long :)

[mellow flower]

long to?

[proper sleet]

its at standrd libarty

dont worry i will be right back

50% i guess

[solid nacelle]

btw

did u add to path

while installing

[proper sleet]

i think

[proper sleet]

its in C:\Program Files\Python312

is that fine?

[solid nacelle]

that isnt what path means

💀

by path i mean PATH env variable

[proper sleet]

oh

uh

am not sure

[solid nacelle]

well

can u open cmd

and type python

without an error

[proper sleet]

yes

got no errors

[solid nacelle]

then its in path c:

now pip install pyautogui

and run ur code

[proper sleet]

in vsc or in the cmd?

ah

now it gives me this error

[buoyant heart]

pip install it

[twin nebula]

With the new python you'll have to install the modules

so pyautogui too

[proper sleet]

oh

how do i install them?

[twin nebula]

pip

how did you install them before?

[proper sleet]

uh

i went to

python cmd

and typed in pip install pyautogui

[mellow flower]

now do it again.

[proper sleet]

oh

[solid nacelle]

well

u r doing it in shell mode

u have to do it in CLI

[proper sleet]

oh

where i find that?

[solid nacelle]

just the normal cmd prompt

type exit()

[proper sleet]

oki

that just closed my cmd

wait

lemmy try again

ok now it works

i just typed in python then exit() then pip install

thats super werid

[twin nebula]

How is that weird?

[proper sleet]

well you have to go to cmd then type in python

[twin nebula]

You ran the REPL, exited, then ran a command in t he prompt

[proper sleet]

then exit out of python

[twin nebula]

no you don't need to do that

[proper sleet]

oh

[twin nebula]

you just need to do pip install whatever

nobody told you to do python then exit() then pip install

you had to exit() because you were already in python - sockyeh just told you how to get out of there

[proper sleet]

oh

ok i downloaded
pip install pyautogui
pip install keyboard
pip install pywin32

do i need to restart my pc or i can run the code.py from there?

[twin nebula]

no need to restart

[proper sleet]

okok

oh

i need 2 more modules

give me a sec

ok now let me try

ah

am confused it still giving me error

[mellow flower]

[proper sleet]

okok

i cant

um

[mellow flower]

copy paste the code here

!paste

[proper sleet]

oh okokok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OBFA

here

sorry

ah

what

oh nvm

[mellow flower]

hm

can you try something

rename your file code.py to temporary.py

or w.e

[wild slate]

Could u show whats inside of the pycache folder

[proper sleet]

okokok

[proper sleet]

sure

[solid nacelle]

is it still not working?

[proper sleet]

hmmm

well

i pressed p

no errors now

but

nothings happening

[mellow flower]

do you have the piano window open?

[solid nacelle]

bad code?

[proper sleet]

oh right

give me a sec

[mellow flower]

i think the rename probably fixed things

pdb seemed to also be importing code.py which cause a circular import, imo

[proper sleet]

now

for the big thing

how do i use the program 😭

its not working when i press P

[mellow flower]

what do you mean not working?

[proper sleet]

am on a piano title game on the website

and when i press P nothing happens

like in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-LeGwMQtEc&t
he pressed space to get a window to open

but when i pressed space on top and bottom a window dose not pop up :(

or if not space then p but i dont understand 😭

[mellow flower]

i kinda got it working but

its not very good

[proper sleet]

oh

[proper sleet]

can you show me at less how to run it 😭

[mellow flower]

first press p over top left corner of first square, then bottom right corner and wait

[mellow flower]

!d code

[left jasper]

code

Source code: Lib/code.py

The code module provides facilities to implement read-eval-print loops in Python. Two classes and convenience functions are included which can be used to build applications which provide an interactive interpreter prompt.

[mellow flower]
