When I trying to import pygame, I get an error

Question

When I try to import pygame, i get this error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.base'

i have the 64 bit version of python (matches my computer), and im using version 3.7.2.

import pygame

just by this caused the error.

I really doubt the code has anything to do with this, but ill add it in any way.

import pygame

The rest of the code is unrelated. Are you sure you have `pygame` installed? — Ofer Sadan, Nov 11 '19 at 08:26
Take a look here for an installation guide: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/GettingStarted — Ofer Sadan, Nov 11 '19 at 08:27
Please write minimal examples in your questions, not your complete code. If it fails on the first line, don't post the others — zvone, Nov 11 '19 at 08:34
@Ofer Sadan I reinstalled pygame, the example that they gave me seemed to work but not my code. — itsanantk, Nov 11 '19 at 08:40
the error is in your pygame library code, not in your script code — , Nov 11 '19 at 08:44
If you did name your script as `pygame.py`, see [Importing installed package from script raises “AttributeError: module has no attribute” or “ImportError: cannot import name”](https://stackoverflow.com/q/36250353/2745495). — Gino Mempin, Nov 12 '19 at 00:30

Are you using a specific IDE?

IDLE - Sometimes doesn't work with PyGame, but should

PyCharm - Have you tried going to Preferences/Project: PROJECT_NAME/Project Interpreter, then pressing the '+' icon and installing PyGame from there?
