Pygame with PathLib?

I am creating a Python 3.9 game using Pygame. I want to bundle it as a .app file using py2app, but pygame needs Absolute Paths for the assets I'm using. I want to use PathLib to find the base directory, but the code I have results in the FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory. error.

Here is a sample of my code:

import os.path
from pathlib import Path

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
ASSETS_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets')

# Load images
RED_SPACE_SHIP = pygame.image.load(os.path.join(ASSETS_DIR, 'pixel_ship_red_small.png'))
GREEN_SPACE_SHIP = pygame.image.load(os.path.join(ASSETS_DIR, 'pixel_ship_green_small.png'))
BLUE_SPACE_SHIP = pygame.image.load(os.path.join(ASSETS_DIR, 'pixel_ship_blue_small.png'))

Please can someone tell me what my issue is?

Solution

  • I used an extra .parent

    That was the issue so it was looking in the wrong directory.
