What error messages are you getting?
Did you get the version of python from python.org?

Hi. I can’t figure out what to download either. It says download pygame that is compatible with 2.7 but how can I tell? https://www.raywenderlich.com/2795-beginning-game-programming-for-teens-with-python

@mcarson1 Do you still have issues with this?

There are no official precompiled pygame packages for Python 3.7 available yet, so pip install pygame doesn’t work, but you can get a pygame wheel from: Python Extension Packages for Windows - Christoph Gohlke

Download pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl if you have a 64-bit Python version or pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl if you have a 32-bit version. Then open the command-line, navigate to the directory that contains the wheel file and install it with pip:

py -3.7 -m pip install pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl
