Problems installing pygame for python 3












0














I run the following, per pygame.org:



python3 -m pip install pygame --user



and I get the following error:



Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 183, in _run_module_as_main
mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error)

return _get_module_details(pkg_main_name, error)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 109, in _get_module_details

register_loader_type(importlib_bootstrap.SourceFileLoader, DefaultProvider)
AttributeError: module 'importlib._bootstrap' has no attribute 'SourceFileLoader'


I am using Linux Mint 17.3 (18.x froze up my laptop). When I try to sudo apt-get it, it says the package can't be found. I enabled all the repositories with no luck. I did manage to get the Python 2.7 pygame package to install, but no luck with Python 3.

    You can install pygame without using pip which fails to install package quite often. askubuntu.com/questions/401342/… might help

    Don't make things complicated, use pip3 install pygame to install python3 module.
