There are a couple of oddities in this.
The first is that you seem to be using Python v2 but that is
out of support so you really should be using Python v3
(although I'm not sure if pygame supports v3?!)

The other thing is that you appear to have Python installed
in your Documents folder which is not the usual place...

Beyond that I'm not sure what the error is indicating.
Perhaps you could try the pygame forum, I'm guessing they
will be more au-fait with pygame install niggles than we are.
