Sending this to the list doesn't work - there's a a separate address for

Re: [pygame] Error pygame with timidity.cfg

[Thomas Kluyver]

I think it's a problem with the way we've packaged pygame. If I'm right,
you'll need to install it another way - either:

1. Get the source code of pygame (https://github.com/pygame/pygame ), make
sure you have all the dependencies installed, and compile it yourself.
2. Or use a platform package manager (like apt or dnf) to install it.

I apologize if I expressed myself badly. however I repeat that timidity works 
well. The problem comes to me with pykaraoke that uses the pygame module. Just 
pygame has a syntax error when it goes to read this file: timidity.cfg, line 
30. But, as explained here ->, the syntax is the one I used, that is only 
"soundfont filename". In fact I read the .midi quietly with timidity. I do not 
know what's wrong with pygame ..

Let's remember that pygame is used by new programmers who don't necessarily
know how or where to best ask questions. Providing guidance is great, but
let's keep the tone friendly. Don't forget that written messages tend to
sound grumpier/snarkier than you meant them to, so
it's easy for everyone to quickly get angry.

Teodoro, you're getting terse responses because you turned up to get help
with a problem, without any evidence that you had investigated it or tried
to understand the cause. If you've checked that timidity works outside
pygame, mention that up front. Did you put the error message into Google as
well? People will be happier to help if you show that you're trying to
figure it out yourself. And your second message comes across as a bit
demanding - no-one here has to help you.

Back to the problem itself: what platform are you on, and how did you
install pygame? There are some problems using timidity with the Linux
wheels, because the bundled copy of the timidity library uses a config file
found on your system, and this might be for a different version of timidity:
https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/343

If it's that kind of problem, then the workaround is to either install from
source, or get a (possibly older) version of pygame from your system
package manager (apt/dnf/...). There are more installation instructions
here:

Neither timidity nor any of its configuration is parsed or otherwise
referenced by the pygame source. Please justify what your need is
here.

cheers!
