Indeed, I'm on debian so I have pygame 1.9.1. Event.dict instead of
Event.__dict__ works great! Thank you!

What are you trying to use it for?

Are you sure you're not using an older version of pygame?
If I remember rightly, Event used not to have '__dict__',
only 'dict'.

Pygame 1.9.2 seems to have both:

>>> pygame.__version__
'1.9.2pre'
>> e = event.Event(42)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', 
'__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', 
'__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__nonzero__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', 
'__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'dict', 
'type']

>>> e.__dict__ is e.dict
True

Well I don't really *need* the __dict__ functionality, but it would be
*convenient* to have *and it is included* in the official documentation.

Interesting...

>>> import pygame>>> pygame.ver'1.9.1release'

I'll try to compile 1.9.2 from source, and get back to you

This really is the key point here. Looking at events, you first check
ev.type and will do different things based on the type anyway. And if
you need to debug things, the respective string representation, str()
and repr() both appear to boil down to the same, really informative
result.

(that is, for me the ".__dict__" attribute exists and the example works as

>>> import pygame

Mine produces "1.9.2pre" (which might not be the latest).

As a sidenote, I haven't ever had occasion to use this functionality, as
there are more idiomatic and clear ways to retrieve information about
events' data.

Re: [pygame] pygame Event

[DiliupG]

are you looking at a KEYDOWN event?
__dict__

Event object attribute dictionary
__dict__ -> dict

Read only. The event type specific attributes of an event. As an example,
this would contain the unicode, key, and mod attributes of a KEYDOWN event.
The dict attribute is a synonym, for backward compatibility.

I'm confused what is
http://pygame.org/docs/ref/event.html#pygame.event.EventType.__dict__ then?

Thanks for your reply btw.

No, that is not a bug. The Events don't have a __dict__ attribute.
The attributes that events have are described in the documentation:

Hey everybody,

I seem to be getting "AttributeError: event member not defined" whenever I
attempt to call "event.__dict__". What's going on here? Is this a bug?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Pygame will get all the events that SDL receives. You will definitely
get the ID of the event. If it is in the range of SDL user events
you can access the code member of the user event structure.

Reading other data from the event will be tricky. Something might be
doable with ctypes? But pygame doesn't deliver any of the other fields
in the user event structure.
