python 3.9 was just released. New versions are often not supported yet by some 3rd party libraries.

often that error is a result of trying to install to a python version not yet compatible by pygame. I have not been keeping track of it lately, but the easiest solution is to install python3.8 and the corresponding pygame for that..

Do you have to compile it? Have you tried pip3 install pygame?
