python "no module named locals"-pygame

Question

i have been coding a window in pygame and the code starts with this:

    import pygame, sys
    from pygame.locals import *
    pygame.init()

and i get this error wen i try to run it:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "pyg2.py", line 2, in <module>
         from pygame.locals import *
    ImportError: No module named locals

just in case, here is my full code:

    import pygame, sys
    from pygame.locals import *
    pygame.init()
   
    
    def create_window():
        global window, window_height, window_width, window_title
        window_width, window_height = 800,600
        window_title = "WINXP Settings"
        pygame.display.set_caption(window_title)
        window = pygame.display.set_mode((window_width, window_height), 
    pygame.HWSURFACE|pygame.DOUBLEBUF)
    
    create_window()
    
    
    isRunning = True
    
    while isRunning:
         for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                isRunning = False
    
    
        window.fill((0, 0, 0))
    
        pygame.display.update()
    
    pygame.quit()
    sys.exit()

oh yeah, My computer is linux lubuntu, not Windows XP, just in case

    window_title = "WINXP Settings"

threw you off.

My guess is that you have a file named pygame.py in the current directory in which you are running the script. If so, change the file's name and try again.
