Hi Rob,

Can you tell us a little more about how you installed it?  That might give
us some ideas why Python wasn't able to find pygame.  My initial guess is
that pygame didn't install in a place that Python expected, but we need
more information.

If we can't give a good answer, then you might want to talk with the
pygame mailing list too.  They're located here:

    http://pygame.seul.org/info.shtml#maillist

and they might know more about the peculiarities of pygame.


Good luck to you!
