Re: [pygame] Python 2.7 with pygame on Mac Sierra (10.12.2)

To try to get pygame 1.9.2 installed easily (without any package managers), I tried doing the sudo install.

The install soaked correctly:
Collecting pygame
  Downloading pygame-1.9.2-cp27-cp27m-macosx_10_9_intel.whl (4.8MB)
    100% |████████████████████████████████| 4.8MB 125kB/s 
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame-1.9.2
IrvKalbs-MBP:~ irvkalb$ 

But when I tried a simple import of pygame in the shell, it still fails (with the exact same message I saw earlier):

Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 12:40:10)

I am open to any other suggestions to get pygame running on Sierra with Python 2.7.13.

This should be easy ... but it is extremely frustrating that I've spent a few days trying to get this environment set up.

I'm thinking you should probably throw a sudo on the front of that (or whatever the Mac equivalent is).

Also, when looking to find the latest version of pygame, on the pygame downloads site, I see version 1.9.1.  But if I go to PyPi at 

It shows version 1.9.2.   But that shows a wheel file (.whl).   

Can anyone tell me if this is a more recent version that might fix the problems that I am seeing?  And if so, is there a simple way to install a .whl file without going through a terminal prompt?

1.9.2 is the latest; unfortunately so far no-one has been able to update the downloads page.

The normal way to use wheels (.whl files) is to 'pip install pygame' at a command line. I don't know of a way to install them without using the terminal, and I don't know anything about building Mac GUI installers. Sorry!

Thanks very much for your response.  I cleared out my 1.9.1 version of pygame, and used pip.  Here's what happened:

IrvKalbs-MBP:~ irvkalb$ pip install pygame

IrvKalbs-MBP:~ irvkalb$ 

However, that did leave me with a pygame folder and a pygame-1.9.2-dist-info folder in my site-packages folder.  And when I try to do import it from the shell in IDLE, I get this:

Something looks very wrong.  Any other suggestions for getting a stable Python/IDLE environment with pygame on Mac Sierra (10.12)?

Thanks,
