Cannot install pygame package

Question

I'm not able to install pygame package in python(64 bit).
I tried installing it through pycharm (64 bit) by going to

files>settings>program name>program interpreter

then, when installing pygame, I'm facing this problem:

Download prebuilts to "prebuilt_downloads" and copy to "./prebuilt-x64"? [Y/n]Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\Manish\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging\pygame\setup.py", line 194, in <module>

        and download_win_prebuilt.ask(**download_kwargs):

    EOFError: EOF when reading a line

    ----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Manish\AppData\Local\Temp\pycharm-packaging\pygame\

The second thing I did was try it through the terminal there I got the same error.
The previous version of my python and pycharm were of 32 bit then I changed to 64 bit.
I'm now really stuck since I'm not able to even install other packages like kivy etc...

Similar to Unable to install pygame on Python 3.8 via pip (Windows 10)

Pygame doesn't support python 3.8 but there's a way to install, please check the link.

Answer 2

Pygame is not yet supported with 3.8 as it is unstable at the moment. In the meantime, I recommend downgrading to 3.7 and installing pygame with:

pip install pygame

In a few months 3.8 will have some modules implemented. Sorry for the inconvenience, hope this fixes your issue.
