Why is there an error when i use pygame in vscode but not in pycharm?

Question

so this is exactly what I wrote in vs code

import pygame


WIDTH, HEIGHT = 600, 500

WIN = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

running = True

while running:
 for event in pygame.event.get():
  if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
   running = False

I get the error Module 'pygame' has no 'QUIT' member there is an error in if statement

   if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

its pygame.QUIT

There is no error in this code. The issue is related to your system. Do you get a runtime error when you run the code or is it just a lint error? — Rabbid76, Jan 09 '21 at 19:53
Are you using `pylint`? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53012461/imports-failing-in-vscode-for-pylint-when-importing-pygame — Grismar, Jan 09 '21 at 20:14
always put full error message (starting at word "Traceback") in question (not comment) as text (not screenshot). There are other useful information. — furas, Jan 09 '21 at 22:10
do you get this error when you run code or when you only write code? Maybe it is only warning and you shouldn't bother this. All tools may have mistakes. — furas, Jan 09 '21 at 22:12

Reason: For security reasons, Pylint only trusts C extensions from the standard library stdlib by default, but the module "pygame" does not come from it.

Please add the following settings in settings.json to add it to the whitelist:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--extension-pkg-whitelist=pygame"],

Or use the following settings:

 "python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--errors-only", "--generated-members=pygame.* " ]
