If you haven't, I suggest you: * Download Python 3.4 from here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-343/ (Either the "Windows x86-64 MSI installer" or the "Windows x86 MSI installer" depending on whether you want 64 or 32-bit respectively) Run the installer and accept the defaults (unless you have a clear reason to do otherwise) * Then download the corresponding version of Pygame from here: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads Either: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_ea3b3bb8714a.win32-py3.4.msi for 32-bit; or https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-hg_8d9e6a1f2635+.win-amd64-py3.4.msi for 64-bit Run the installer and accept the defaults * Then you should be able to start Python and import pygame If you still have problems, please post back here to see if we can help you.
