使用 pip install 安装 pygame 时遇到问题

Question

I tried: c:/python34/scripts/pip install http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame

and got this error:

Cannot unpack file C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-b60d5tho-unpack\pygame 
(downloaded from C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-rqmpq4tz-build, conte
nt-type: text/html; charset=utf-8); cannot detect archive format
  Cannot determine archive format of C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-rqmp
q4tz-build

Please if anyone have any solutions please feel free to share them! I also tried pip install --allow-unverified , but that gave me an error as well.

Answer 1

This is the only method that works for me.

pip install pygame==1.9.1release --allow-external pygame --allow-unverified pygame

--

These are the steps that lead me to this command (I put them so people finds it easily):

$ pip install pygame
Collecting pygame
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
  Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pygame to allow).
  No distributions at all found for pygame

Then, as suggestes I allow external:

$ pip install pygame --allow-external pygame
Collecting pygame
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
  Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified pygame to allow).
  No distributions at all found for pygame

So I also allow unverifiable:

$ pip install pygame --allow-external pygame --allow-unverified pygame
Collecting pygame
  pygame is potentially insecure and unverifiable.
  HTTP error 400 while getting http://www.pygame.org/../../ftp/pygame-1.6.2.tar.bz2 (from http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml)
  Could not install requirement pygame because of error 400 Client Error: Bad Request
  Could not install requirement pygame because of HTTP error 400 Client Error: Bad Request for URL http://www.pygame.org/../../ftp/pygame-1.6.2.tar.bz2 (from http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml)

So, after a visit to http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml , I thought about adding the version number (1.9.1release is the currently stable one).

Hope it helps.

If you get trouble when install pygame error about missing visual studio 10+. I have the answer: The problem is not about have or not have visual studio, because I try many version but it not work. The problem is file: between tar.gz and .whl so, this is the solution:

1) Download file:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame

Go here and download your pygame version, notice about x64 or x86 and python version. My system is x64 and python is 3.4 so I choose: pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

2) Put it in some where to install:

I put it in "C:", so open cmd: and type: cd C:\\ (this is change location to C:)

3) Install

pip install C:\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl

Done !

I realized that the compatible Pygame version was simply corrupted or broken. Therfore i had to install a previous version of python to run Pygame. Which is actually fine as most modules aren't updated to be compatible with Python 3.4 yet so it only gives me more options.

I myself got this error(while using v3.10.0) and then I uninstalled the latest version and installed older version of python(v3.9.7) and it fixed the issue. Hope that works for you too. Honestly there are not many changes in the fix unless they jump from python3 to python4. so you dont need to update the python just for the sake of latest-ality
