Looking at the download url that PyPI points to:
http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml
then I get the impression that this page was designed to be read by humans only, and if pip/easy_install ever do anything useful with it then it's by pure luck only. The whole page is about how you should go about choosing and obtaining the correct platform-specific binary package.
There are a number of pygame issues open about packaging: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/59/pygame-has-no-pypi-page-and-ca... is a general "get the pypi page working" one, https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/222/wheel-format-for-pip-and-pypi for providing wheels, https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/223/new-version-scheme-to-match-p... for PEP 440 versioning, https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/224/fix-usage-of-raw_input-in-set... fix interactive prompting from setup.py, and I've just added one asking them to host on PyPI: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issues/276/host-release-files-on-pypi They seem to be discussing the various packaging issues, so with luck they will put something in place for the next release, whenever that occurs.
