Have you tried with the --pre flag?Normally, pip will ignore beta versions unless you specify --pre to allow pre-releases. It seems there is some special case if it can only find pre-releases - pygame has never been installable from PyPI before, so pip doesn't find any earlier version to use and decides to accept the pre-release. But maybe this only happens when you install something directly, not when it's looking for a dependency.On 28 September 2016 at 15:58, Martin Kühne <mysatyre@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:What version do you get when you install pygame from pip?
Yes, it works with the --pre flag. Anyone can now test my game with pip: sudo pip3 install --pre bullet_dodger
I'll update the installation instructions from the README of my project, thank you very much, Thomas Kluyver. That --pre won't be neccessary in the future for my project when 1.9.2 release is available.
