Pygame missing quit module

Question

Whenever I try to run event.type == pygame.QUIT , event.type == QUIT or event.type == pygame.quit() in my pygame program, I get an error saying that Module 'pygame' has no 'QUIT' member or Undefined variable 'QUIT' . When I run the program, it opens just fine but when I close out of the pygame window, it crashes completely and doesn't close.

I have tried to reinstall pygame but that didn't work. It seems like the pygame package has no quit function of any kind, even though the other functions like Clock() and display() are there. I think that it might have to do with installation issues, but I don't know how to address that in a concise way.

Here's my code:

import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
from sys import exit
import os
from moves import Moves
from moves import *
from character import Character
from items import Items
import random
import pandas as pd
from pokemon import Pokemon
...


running = True
FPS = 60
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
while running:
    clock.tick(FPS)
    
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT:
            running=False

Answer 1

Try import pygame.locals with:

from pygame.locals import *

I had the same problem several times and this fixed it for me. Just add it to your import section additionally to your normal pygame import.

Answer 2

is the ' symbol in your code before the import or was that accidentally placed there when copying your code?

`import pygame, sys

You're right, to check if the user wants to close the window it should be:

event.type == pygame.QUIT

Also, try adding this in the beginning of your code after your imports:

pygame.init()

Not sure if those will fix, but give it a shot

Answer 3

This is more of a workaround than anything else, as it is often much better to install the module properly than to do something like this

pygame.QUIT , as with nearly any other pygame, or SDL constant, just returns a number. define pygame's constants for yourself:
