Pygame "No module called pygame.base"

Question

When I download pygame-1.9.2b8-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame I turn it into zip, take the headers in the pygame-1.9.2b8.data folder into pygame34/include/pygame and I put the other pygame file from the zip in the site-packages folder together with pygame-1.9.2b8.data as any tutorial shows, I always get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/andsa/PycharmProjects/THIS WORKS ANDREAS/Games.py", line 1, in <module> 
    import pygame
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 141, in <module>
    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: No module named 'pygame.base'

EDIT: I use python 3.4.5, I have tried both python and pygame 64 and 32 bit but i still get this error

Answer 1

This error bugged me for months, what i did was:

1. Uninstalled the package

   pip3 uninstall pygame

2. Purged the pip cache

   pip cache purge

3. Finally...Reinstalled pygame using pip3

   pip3 install pygame

Worked like a charm :)

Answer 2

You probably have python installed for 32-bit. Uninstall and the install the 64-bit version. After that,

pip3 uninstall pygame

pip3 install pygame

Answer 3

尝试使用 pip3 install pygames 安装 pygames

pip3 install pygame

Answer 4

Use pip3 tool to reinstall the pygame python module:

C:\Python373\Scripts>pip3 uninstall pygame
C:\Python373\Scripts>pip3 install pygame

Then install it:

C:\Python373\Scripts>pip install pygame-menu==2.0.1

SUBLIME TEXT SOLUTION

OBS: THE REASON MOST GUI FRAMEWORKS DO NOT WORK ON SUBLIME IS BECAUSE OF THIS ONE LITTLE DETAIL HERE

Create a new build system:

1. In Sublime go to >> Tools
2. Tools >> Build System
3. Build System >> New Build System

DELETE EVERYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS NEW FILE AND ADD THIS PIECE OF CODE:

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/python3.8", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)"
}

ATTENTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE CURRENT DIRECTORY YOU ARE ON, WHICH IS THE

USER ONE.

4. SAVE IT AS Python3.8.sublime-build
5. In Sublime go to >> Tools
6. Tools >> Build System
7. Mark the Python3.8 you have just created

Voila!

PS I Saved mine as 3.7 but it works the same, as long as the code inside the file is 3.8, or whatever version you have on your machine currently.
