Pygame installation for Python 3.3

Question

I am trying to import Pygame to use for my version of Python, 3.3. The downloads on the Pygame website only have Python 3.1 and 3.2. I cannot seem to be able to import Pygam

Answer 1

Every time I update my python verion (currently I'm working with python 3.3), I download a special build for pygame, from this adress. It has builds for many other packages, so I think it is worth to check it out.

Answer 2

You need to download the version of Pygame that is equivalent to Python 3.3 from Bitbucket and Pygame is only available in 32 bit, so you need to make sure that Python is 3.3 32 bit. Download from: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads

Answer 3

If the solution from the Paul Vincent Craven's answer gives you "Python version 3.3 required, which was not found in the registry.", you have to download and install this version from the official download site:

Python 3.3.0 Windows X86-64 MSI Installer

Answer 4

I have had this problem also. Pygame has to be compatible with the version of Python and the type of computer you have. For example, if you have Python version 3.3.2, but downloaded Pygame version 2.7.1, the "import pygame" function will be impossible to use.

Answer 5

The main Pygame page seems to be rarely updated. You can download Pygame releases direct from Bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads.

Answer 6

If you are on Windows and have Python 3.3, open the download page on bitbucket. Download: pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.3.msi

Then you can test if you have Pygame by importing pygame.
