ImportError: No module named pygame, how do you fix this on a mac?

Question

I am trying to create a game in python, just a beginner, and I installed pygame using the pip command pip install pygame and it says "requirement already satisfied". So, assuming it is installed, I hop onto VS Code, and the import pygame to check if it is working, and the ImportError: No module named pygame error popped up in the terminal, keep in mind I am on a MacBook. Please help. Here is the image of what the error is

Answer 1

Remember to use pip3 on MacOS, pip is for Python 2.

Try this:

pip3 install pygame

and then run the command:

python3 -c "import pygame"

If the second works, but in VSCode it doesn't, remember to use Python 3, instead of 2 for VSCode.

Answer 2

You shoud try pip3 instead pip because I remembered that osx already have a version of python2.7(which deprecated). And remember to call CLI

python3 game.py

But I prefer using virtual environment ( venv )than install every packages in your user profile.
