Unable to install pygame on Python 3.8 via pip (Windows 10)

Question

Currently unable to install pygame via pip. Getting this message:

Concerned by it being termed an EOF error, is this an error in the modul

Answer 1

pip is doesn't have pygame up. But there is a alternative that worked for me. https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileWindows Read and follow the steps correctly and it should install. you also need to update your code to pygame 2.0.0 code because it's only for 3.8 BTW you have to follow the SDL2 instructions since pygame 2.0.0 uses that.
