[PyGame] Why didn't my installation of pygame work?

[ljmetzger]

If you have Python 3.6 or older the following runstring should work (which downloads from PyPI):
pip install pygame

I get similar errors using Python 3.7 on Windows 10.

I was successful downloading the wheel file from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame which is an unofficial URL for unreleased packages (even though Python 3.7 was released a couple of days ago). Download the appropriate version for your computer. My installation runstring was:
pip install pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

Output:
Processing c:\python\pygame-1.9.3-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame-1.9.3
