Re: [pygame] Can't install pygame on Windows. Please help!

There aren't precompiled packages for Python 3.7 yet, so it tries to install from source. The easiest option is to keep using Python 3.6 for now.

If you do want to try to install from source for Python 3.7, see: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileWindows

Hi all. I just tried installing pygame on my Windows system using the following on the command line:

python -m pip install --user pygame

but it seems to have failed.

​I can reproduce this. I suspect it's a bug; Python 3.7.0 came out just four days ago. Perhaps try Python 3.6 for now?​
