Background in pygame not working

Question

import pygame
import sys   
import os

basic stuff

'''
Objects
'''

# put Python classes and functions here

'''
Setup #...
'''
# put run-once code here


fps = 60
ani = 4
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
pygame.init()

I think here might be a problem:

On the internet I saw something with .convert() but it keeps giving me : AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'convert'

when I try to put .conver()

it's been 2 hours of searching and I can't find this noob stuff...

background = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('background.png'))
size = (width, height) = background.get_size() 

world = pygame.display.set_mode(size)

...

'''
Main Loop
'''

or here:

world.blit(background, (0,0))

...

while main == True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit(); sys.exit()
            main = False

        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == ord('q'):
                pygame.quit()
                sys.exit()  
                main = False 

pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick(fps)

Please post a [minimal, complete and verifiable example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). The part that is causing the error is missing. — skrx, Jun 29 '18 at 14:24

There is no error, the game only has white background instead of my background — Alex Călinescu, Jul 02 '18 at 13:21
background = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('background.png').convert()) — Alex Călinescu, Jul 02 '18 at 13:21
The `convert` function is a member of the loaded image, so you need to put it outside the `load()` function which returns that object: `background = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('background.png')).convert()` — import random, Jul 02 '18 at 22:14
