can't run Pygame Zero from IDE with import pgzrun on first line and pgzrun.go() on last

[ca...@supersolvrs.com]

Problem is that in the interactive shell, import pgzrun, gives an error.  This is a peculiarity of pygame Zero.  It works fin in other IDEs.  I'm dealing with 5th graders.  They can run from the commandmline, but not from Thonny.

Any chance of a fix?  Thx

Hi!

What a coincidence, I was dealing with this exact issue yesterday and today :)

I fixed a bug which caused __file__ not to be set. This allows "import pgzrun" to work.

I also implemented a special Pygame Zero mode, which allows running PGZero programs without "import pgzrun" and "pgzrun.go()". Both will be released in version 3.1, hopefully in the first week of January.

best regards,
Aivar
