I have a problem running pygame 2.0 with python 3.9

Question

I installed pygame using pip install pygame and when that didn't work I found a solution online and tried pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev14. Still the same problem: "pygame" shows up when I do pip list, and pygame folders are there in the file locations. However, when I run the code import pygame, the shell shows the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'.

How can I fix this?

Try `pip3 install pygame` – Ted Klein Bergman Nov 04 '20 at 12:30 — Ted Klein Bergman, Nov 04 '20 at 12:30

You should do pip3 install pygame sometimes this happens, when you are on a mac and have 2 versions of python in your computer, MAC OS takes the python 2.7 by default, if you want a newer version, you have to specify by saying python3 or pip3

For python 3.9, you can use: python -m pip install pygame --pre --user. This happens because python 3.9 isn't fully adapted to pygame yet.
