Cannot install pygame in Pycharm

问题

I'm on Windows 10 on an Asus. I'm using python 3.8. I installed successfully pygame on another computer (lenovo yoga, same OS) and worked fine. Then I tried to install the same package on this computer (the Asus) using pip and worked just fine. The issue is that when I try to import pygame in PyCharm the module seems not to exits

Traceback (most recent call last):   

File "C:/Users/nicho/PycharmProjects/test/pygame_/2d pvm game/game.py", line 2, in <module>
import pygame ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

Importing on the python console or using the default IDLE works fine. I also tried to import the package from Pycharm both using the quick fixes and going to File > settings > Project: name of my project > Project Interpreter and i clicked the + icon to add pygame. This worked fine for all packages but pygame. When I try to install it using Pycharm I get the error

Error occurred when installing package 'pygame'. Details...

Then I get the details

Could someone please tell me how to solve this issue?

NOTE: Every package works but pygame

回答1:

I had the same issue, and ended up going into cmd and doing pip install pycharm , and then going by into pycharm > settings > project > project interpreter, and swapping the interpreter from the virtual to my python install location. All my already installed stuff showed up in the list, and I could install other things without a problem.
