Python curses help.

[Zeorth]

So I'm new to this programming thing and I decided to give coding the game snake a go. I seem to have completed everything besides this curses thing that I don't understand. Can anyone help me with this? (I've added a image)

It looks like the curses module isn't installed. If you're on windows, this might be relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32417379/what-is-needed-for-curses-in-python-3-4-on-windows7

 

EDIT: just kidding, it would fail in a different way if the curses module wasn't available. I should have read closer, my bad.

I downloaded it now and it still says the same thing.

How do I fix it then?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've never worked with curses. Just general advice for things of this nature, check the versions you have, and see if maybe that method was changed/removed in a newer version than the code you copied it from. Also try making a super small test script with more or less just creates a curses object and see that it is in fact what you expect (so verifying that the initscr() method exists and works), to try and isolate the issue. The process of debugging is just doing tests to narrow down the potential problem areas until it's small enough that you can identify the problem.

pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc

Then add curses to extension-pkg-whitelist.

Where can I find that?

Can't find pylint.

Add "python.linting.pylintEnabled": false to your user or workspace settings. It's enabled by default, and you don't have it.
