Problem description:
Cannot import the “arcade” python library

Expected behavior:
I should be able to import the “arcade” python library without errors

Actual behavior:
Importing arcade produces the following errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/arcadetest/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pyglet/__init__.py", line 335, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self._module, name)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Label'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I found a working template in which someone was able to use the arcade python library. Give it a try and let me know if it worked.

I tried it and it didn’t work. Here’s the console output:

SoLoud dynamic link library /home/runner/LzpiO-Hkp-l/arcade/soloud/libsoloud.so not found. libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Warning, can’t initialize soloud name ‘soloud_dll’ is not defined. Sound support will be limited.

Did you just run the repl or did you fork it and try to run it with your code?

they ran the repl. I checked

see if running this in shell (on your original repl) helps:

sed -i "s/];/  pkgs.freetype  \n&/" replit.nix
