This is my first post on stack overflow. I have been trying to run a pygame code on my MAC Mountain Lion, and after installing pygame successfully when I try to set_mode for the display using the command

pygame.display.set_mode([700,400])

I get the following error

2013-12-19 18:31:12.299 Python[25975:f0b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Error (1000) creating CGSWindow on line 259'

I installed both python and pygame using brew. I searched extensively for solutions but did not get anything useful for this error. Appreciate any suggestion or help with this. (I found a similar question in stackOverflow , but I could not comment on that since I am new to the forum and do not have the points for it)

  • what is the other question? Also, what version of Python are you using and what version of Pygame? – MattDMo Dec 20 '13 at 03:06
  • also, how are you running the program? From a command line, IDE, IDLE? – MattDMo Dec 20 '13 at 03:09
  • Thanks for the response! The other similar question I found in stackflow is [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17125292/error-in-pygame-hello-world-program-mac-os-10-8?rq=1). I am using commandline, and sublime text. Python version is 2.7.6. – KR88 Dec 20 '13 at 22:34
  • I am voting to close this question due to the lack of debugging details. Please read [How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). – Rabbid76 Dec 22 '20 at 14:50
