This problem is *always* paths.

In Pycharm, click "Python Console".  Type:

import sys
sys.path


 From the command prompt type (Note: if this is Windows, substitute "py" 
for "python"):

pythom -m pip list    # make sure it actually shows pygame
python
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path


what's different?
