Installing Python Modules
Hello, I'm using the current version of Python on both a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I'm trying to import the pygame module from the terminal. The problem is that it's applying the module to Python 2.7 that came with the computer. Is there a way that I can correct the path so that every command I enter in the Terminal gets applied to whichever current version of Python that I'm running? Let me know. Thanks, Thory
If you have Python 3.8 and wants it to be installed to the Python 3.8
environment, do:
python3.8 -m pip install pygame
I also recommend installing it to a virtual environment like venv.
Hope this helps.

Awesome, thanks! I did do that prior to receiving your email.
However, I'm still getting an error message from python.
First it's telling me about wheel that wasn't properly installed. Then I
run the same code but with wheel, and it says installed successfully.
And I run the code again with pygame, but I get this error (see attached).
I have no clue how to fix this.
Thanks a bunch for your help.

the error message says:

the most common way to do this is to use pyenv to manage multiple python versions and paths to each one. Have you tried this:
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv Also, I’m not sure its really the right place to ask such questions. I am replying simply b/c I know that these things can be frustrating and difficult to work through sometimes, but I really think that Stack Overflow might be a better place to find help if you need more help than the link given in the error message. Good luck!
Let me know.
