This will be my first ever post on stack overflow. I hope some of you can give me some insight if you've crossed roads with this problem before.

So, I use PyCharm as my main IDE, and I have no intention of changing the IDE either. I can totally fine install all sorts of modules and packages. for example (import bumpy), gets a red border-bottom of color red. I hover over it, it tells me I need to install. I install fine without any error.

when I try to (import Pygame) I do the same thing. this time I get an error. An error that is far to long for me to understand any of it, I'm totally new to programming also.

i have this screen record of what happens that I will like to show you (if stack overflow accepts video files). I will also post the error I get.

I have search everywhere to try find a solution. I´ve upgraded pip, downgraded pip. tried everything from easy-install til heavier installs. I've deleted pycharm and I've deleted python. nothing works.

Please help, I try to learn programming via university, and right now I'm left behind because I can't get it to work.

Error code:

DEPRECATION: The -b/--build/--build-dir/--build-directory option is deprecated. pip 20.3 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is use the TMPDIR/TEMP/TMP environment variable, possibly combined with --no-clean. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8333.

  • Hello Stian to SO community. It looks like pygame is library which has some parts in C/C++, and it required SDL library and SDL headers and many other things. I think you should carefuly read this entire article about installing pygame on Mac: https://kidscancode.org/blog/2015/09/pygame_install/ or google "install pygame lib mac os" – 404pio Oct 21 '20 at 13:26
  • @404pio I get this error when trying to install Pygame from the link you sent. any insight? – Stian Larsen Oct 21 '20 at 18:10
  • Have you installed SDL library in your system? – 404pio Oct 23 '20 at 07:46
  • I finally got It working. I used python 3.8 or 3.9, and PyGame only works until 3.7. All I did was change my interpreter to 3.7 and *voila*, it let me install and use PyGame. I also did follow all of your instructions. Some of them helped other students I know. so thank you. – Stian Larsen Oct 28 '20 at 15:02
  • Glad to hear that. You're welcome. If you want, you can mark first of my posts as "useful" – 404pio Oct 29 '20 at 10:05
  • Im really sorry, but how to I mark it as useful?? @404pio – Stian Larsen Nov 06 '20 at 12:22
