Hi!
I have now spent several hours trying to install Pygame with Python
3.5. I have installed from a msi file "successfully" but "import
pygame" fails either because Python can't find pygame or because "%1 is
not a valid .DLL". I have followed the instructions at
https://www.webucator.com/blog/2015/03/installing-the-windows-64-bit-version-of-pygame/
to install from a wheel which works just fine until I get to

which tells me nothing.
Please, someone - how do I install pygame? It appears to be installed
on my PC - maybe I have it in the wrong folder? When I download the
install packages, I copy them into my c:\Python folder (where my Python
lives) and install from there so I would think they'd get installed in
the right place.
Many thanks - John Mycroft
