Pygame installation for Python 3.3

ShroomBandit picture ShroomBandit · Jan 2, 2013 · Viewed 70k times · Source

I am trying to import Pygame to use for my version of Python, 3.3. The downloads on the Pygame website only have Python 3.1 and 3.2. I cannot seem to be able to import Pygame though I thought I had it installed in the correct path. I have tried both the 3.1 and 3.2 Pygame downloads.

Is Pygame just not installed in the correct file path or is Pygame not compatible with my version of Python (3.3)?

I am running Windows 7 and here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
File ".\pygame\__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
from pygame.base import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

The main Pygame page seems to be rarely updated. You can download Pygame releases direct from Bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads.
