即使正确安装，也无法在 Jupyter notebook 中导入 pygame

Question

I want to install pygame on my MacBook. I installed it with the command

pip install -U pygame --user

However, whenever I ran import pygame , I get ModuleNotFoundError . I get the same error whether I ran it inside a Jupyter notebook or from the terminal.

>>> import pygame
===== 2021.11.03 13:11:29 =====
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

I uninstalled and re-installed it with different commands:

pip install -U pygame

pip3 install -U pygame --user

pip3 install -U pygame

I checked it is installed correctly by checking pip freeze and I ran the command python3 -m pygame.tests to check it works well and it does. I added it to the system path as you can see below. The pygame folder is in the site-packages folder.

(base) aelashry@Ahmeds-MacBook-Pro asn5 % echo $PATH
/Users/----/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages:/Users/----/Library/Python/3.9/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/Users/----/opt/anaconda3/bin:/Users/----/opt/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin

I also restarted my computer. Nothing works. Any body can help?

Edit

Thanks to @Matiiss comments, I managed to import the module by running python3 in the terminal and then import pygame . However, it is tsill not working on Jupyter even though the kernel in the notebook is Python 3.

Answer 1

The answer turned out that I had to use python -m pip install -U pygame instead of pip install pygame so that Jupyter can find the module. I honestly do not know what is the difference, so maybe somebody can elaborate, but that's the solution for my problem.
