I tried moving the file to the place I think the import code gets programs from so it could open pygame. It didn't work and then I tried changing the name of the PythonX  folder. My version of python is 3.4.3, the pygame im trying to use is pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2 Nothing has worked and it gives me this message in the python shell:

Please help us to help you. "I downloaded pygame and tried testing it 
and it didn't work" is less than useless.  You need to tell us exactly 
what you did to install pygame, how you tried to test it and exactly 
what happened.  If there is a traceback cut and paste the complete 
contents, just as you've done above.

Now let's play "spot the mistake".

My version of python is 3.4.3,
------------------------^^^^^
the pygame im trying to use is pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2
------------------------------------------------------^^^

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
