trouble installing pygame on python 3.5

Question

I have installed the whl file for pygame 1.9.2 for python 3.5 32 bit and have put it in "C:\\Python35\\Scripts". When i open a command window in the scripts folder and type

pip3 install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl 

it says

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

I am following the instructions from here , I have heard it works for python 3.5. I have been trying to figure this out for ages, can anyone help me on what to do next?

Answer 1

Here are instructions for users with the newer Python 3.5 :

I just successfully installed Pygame 1.9.2a0-cp35 on Windows and it runs with Python 3.5.1.

• Install Python, and remember the install location
• Go here and download pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl
• Move the downloaded .whl file to your python35/Scripts directory
• Open a command prompt in the Scripts directory ( Shift - Right click in the directory > Open a command window here )

• Enter the command:

  pip3 install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl

• If you get an error in the last step, try:

  python -m pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl

And that should do it. Tested as working on Windows 10 64bit.

Answer 2

Try to run

python -m pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl

This should be a workaround the "space problem" of pip on windows.

Hope this helps :)
