i get an import error in pygames camera init script! help!

[metalx1000]

@runizgozilla:

What does the error say?

Can you post your script at pastebin so I can see it?

I really can't help if you don't give me any information.

[runizgozilla]

@metalx1000 This: import pygame, sys import pygame.camera from pygame.locals import * pygame.init() pygame.camera.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode(640,48­0) cam = pygame.camera.Camera("/dev/vid­eo0", (640,480)) cam.start() while 1: image = cam.get_image() screen.blit(image, (0,0)) pygame.display.update() for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit()

@runizgozilla: Could you please not post code here? Please post it at some place like pastebin.

This video is poorly titled, but quality work. Rename it " Video stream from your webcam."

[runizgozilla]

@runizgozilla and it won't let me post the error message.
