Add Pygame Module In PyCharm IDE


Answer :

Well, you don't have to download it for PyCharm here. You probably know how it checks your code. Through the interpreter! You don't need to use complex command lines or anything like that. You need to is:

  • Download the appropriate interpreter with PyGame included

  • Open your PyCharm IDE (Make sure it is up to date)

  • Go to File

  • Press Settings (Or Ctrl + Alt + S)

  • Double click on the option that looks like Project: Name_of_Project

  • Click on Project Interpreter

  • Choose the interpreter you want to use that includes PyGame as a module

  • Save your options

And you are ready to go! Here is an alternate (I have never done this, please try to test it)

  • Add PyGame in the same folder as your PyCharm file (Your PyCharm stuff is always in a specific file placed by you during installation/upgrade) Please consider putting your PyCharm stuff inside a folder for easy access.

I hope this helps you!


For PyCharm 2017 do the following:

  • File - Settings
  • Double click on your project name
  • Select Project Interpreter
  • Click on green + button on the right side of the window
  • Type Pygame in search window
  • Click Install package.

Not I'm saying that the answers above won't work, but it might be frustrating to a newbie to do command line magic.


If you are using PyCharm and you are on a Windows 10 machine use the following instructions:

  1. Click on the Windows start menu and type cmd and click on the Command Prompt icon.

  2. Use the command pushd to navigate to your PyCharm project which should be located in your user folder on the C:\ drive. Example: C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\project name\venv\Scripts.

    (If you are unsure go to the settings within PyCharm and navigate to the Python Interpreter settings. This should show you the file path for the interpreter that your project is using. Credit to Anthony Pham for instructions to navigate to interpreter settings.)

    HINT: Use copy and paste in the command prompt to paste in the file path.

  3. Use the command pip install pygame and the pip program will handle the rest for you.

  4. Restart you Pycharm and you should now be able to import pygame

Hope this helps. I had a fun time trying to find out the correct way to get it installed, so hopefully this helps someone out in the future.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
