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.

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
