How do I unsubscribe to the pygame mailing list again? Who do I email?

Not sure if there is still an issue but you will probably want to download it from the bitbucket site.
Last I checked (a month or so ago) the ftp download had issues with python versions greater then 3.3.1 which was fixed but wasn't updated on the ftp site.

You need to install the version of pygame for python 3.3. The one you installed is for python 2.7.

On my windows 7 PC, I installed Python 3.3.2 Windows x86 MSI Installer

Then I got pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.7.msi

During the install of pygame it wanted to know where python was installed so I put in C:\Python33\ which is correct.

Then I read  to check that Pygame is install correctly, type the following into the interactive shell:
>>> import pygame


and got this:

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

Why did it fail?
