Can't install pygame with pip as there is an error whilst runningvsetup.py bdist_wheel for pygame [duplicate]

Answer 1

The problem is in new XCode that shut down some support ( I got similar issue with wxPython ) but I managed to make pygame work (version 1.9.2) so try pip install pygame==1.9.2 since it is by default trying to get 1.9.3

Also the #include "SDL.h" is C++, not python, so it is not a comment, rather it is importing a library SDL :)

Answer 2

Just run this and you'll be able to work with the latest version of PyGame. This command installs the missing dependencies that cause your error.

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi

Then you can run pip install pygame and it will work fine.
