pygame未导入

Question

I have a really basic question, pygame isn't being recognized in Windows 7. I have ActiveState Python 2.7 and pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py2.7.msi installed. However, a simple hello world program that imports pygame gives

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "foo.py", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame

Can anyone help me with this? I am not really familiar with editing the PATH if that is what is needed, thanks.

EDIT: Is it because ActiveState is 64 bit and I'm using the 32 bit version of pygame?

Answer 1

Adding pygame to the path is the first thing I would try.

A really simple (and probably bad to leave it there but okay to test) way to get things running is to locate where your pygame is installed, and add it to sys.path

There is more info here: http://greeennotebook.com/2010/06/how-to-change-pythonpath-in-windows-and-ubuntu/

You can eventually add it to the windows PATH.

Answer 2

Ah, never mind, it appears I needed both versions of ActiveState and pygame to be 32 bit. Works now.
