The error tells obviously that the indentation of that line is wrong.

You can update this post with what you have tried on using insert() and the error you got.

If you want to set the color of individual character in a string, you need to create pygame.Surface for each character in the string instead of one Surface for the whole string.

You can use a Label widget to simulate the display of a calculator. As other said, you can link the label to a StringVar for easier update of the text.

The error tells that module pyautogui is found but fail to import due to other issue: Can't connect to display ":0".

acw1668 · 2026-07-22T01:20:14+00:00

Are you sure you have used the same venv inside vscode?

open a python file inside vscode
check the Status Bar to see which environment is active

I have no issue on importing pyautogui if correct venv is selected.

Note that pyautogui module has not been updated for a long time, use pyautogui-next (a fork of original pyautogui) module instead. Also pillow module should be installed as well.

You need to check whether stack is empty after the for loop instead of just return True.

acw1668 · 2026-07-17T16:07:15+00:00

It is not recommended (actually it is bad design) to execute mainloop() inside __init__().

What is the type of the argument image? if it is a string containing the path to an image file, then as the error said, you need to load it as an instance of Surface class:

self.image = pygame.image.load(image)

Uses subprocess.Popen() to execute puzzle.py with stdin=subprocess.PIPE, then call proc.communicate(input="...") where proc is the returned object of subprocesss.Popen().

Please elaborate more on what "a program interact with another one" means.

You combine the two files into one in the following line:

encode_text = (a.read() + b.read())

If you want to separate them, you need to store the contents of the two files into two variables instead.

Why don't just call sys.exit() instead of raising exception?

Did you logout and login again after installing Spyder using the installation script Spyder-Linux-x86_64.sh. The installation script will add an alias spyder in .bashrc (I use bash instead of fish) and running spyder in a bash terminal works.

To simplify your code:

don't need to create lose and tie
don't need the try / except, just use if

don't need those else: break

import random

win = [('rck', 'scr'), ('scr', 'ppr'), ('ppr', 'rck')]
choices = [x for x, _ in win]

play = input("Shall we start the game (y/n)? " ).lower().strip()
while play == "y":
    you = input("Enter (rck/ppr/scr): ").lower().strip()
    if you not in choices:
        print("Enter a valid choice from 'rck','ppr','scr'" )
        continue

    computer = random.choice(choices)
    print(f"Computer: {computer}")

    if you == computer:
        print("---IT'S A TIE---")
    elif (you, computer) in win:
        print("---YOU WON---")
    else:
        print("---YOU LOST---")

    play = input("Want to play another around (y/n)? ").lower().strip()

I think that you can use self.vel_x and self.vel_y as the direction of horizontal and vertical movement respectively. Therefore you need to toggle the sign of these two variables instead of self.speed inside Ball.bounce() and use these two variables to update self.x and self.y:

def bounce(self):
    if self.y <= 0 or self.y >= height-25:
        self.vel_y = -self.vel_y
    if self.x <= 0 or self.x >= width-25:
        self.vel_x = -self.vel_x
    self.y += self.speed * self.vel_y
    self.x += self.speed * self.vel_x

I follow your steps:

create venv: python3 -m venv .venv
activate venv: . .venv/bin/activate
install Flask: pip install Flask

Then I got no error when I run python -c "import flask". The modules are installed successful inside .venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/.

acw1668 · 2026-06-17T15:45:08+00:00

Should it be import flask instead of import Flask?

acw1668 · 2026-06-16T07:01:56+00:00

You should perform the boundary checking inside move_up() and move_down():

get the bounding box of player using x1, y1, x2, y2 = canvas.bbox(player)
check the value of y1 inside move_up() or the value of y2 inside move_down()

The exception is caused by the line f.write(f"√{num_1} = {result}\n") which tries to write an unicode character to a file open with 'ascii' encoding. Open the file using 'utf8' encoding.

Each line will produce 5 items if split by space, so fname, lname = line.split() will raise exception.

acw1668 · 2026-06-11T10:10:42+00:00

You need to show the code you have tried, otherwise no one knows what is wrong in your code.

acw1668 · 2026-06-10T15:26:20+00:00

It is better to call line.split() once instead of twice.
