Install pygame in a virtualenv - pygame

I use fedora 20, Python 2.7 and virtualenv 1.10.1. I want to install pygame in virtualenv and I get
You are installing a potentially insecure and unverifiable file. Future versions of pip will default to disallowing insecure files.
HTTP error 400 while getting http://www.pygame.org/../../ftp/pygame-1.6.2.tar.bz2 (from http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml)
Could not install requirement pygame because of error HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
I found this in GitHub, so I tried without success
pip install git+http://github.com/xamox/pygame
Asking for missing dependencies. I know that I have to install sdl*. Can I do it in virtualenv or do I have to do it on the system? Any recommendation?
I installed PySDL but still nothing

Finally what I did to install pygame on virtualenv is:
su -c "yum-builddep pygame"
due to pygame installer is waiting for user confirmation about missing dependencies I need to pipe a "yes". So
yes y | pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
or
yes y |pip install git+http://github.com/xamox/pygame
The smpeg-config dependency is only available on fedora16 so I ignored and that's worked.

I had the same issue in Ubuntu, and fixed it with:
sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame
Interesting, I've seen this solution in some resources, but it didn't work for me, because build-dep looked not like an option, but like some package to install, so I tried to run apt-get install build-dep. Of course, with no success. #b10n1k 's answer helped me to figure out my mistake. :)

Spyder not Detecting Pygame Module [duplicate]

I have following issue of installing pygame package.
In file included from src/_numericsurfarray.c:23:
src/pygame.h:106:10: fatal error: 'SDL.h' file not found
#include <SDL.h>
^

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciate ? Thanks.
Here (OSX Mavericks) I got able to install this way:
brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi
pip install https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/get/default.tar.gz
("default" branch is on commit e3ae850 right now)

See this other StackOverflow question too: PyGame in a virtualenv on OS X with brew?
I had the same issue. I tried all versions of the answers to this question including variations of pip and pip3. Finally, the one that worked for me was:
sudo easy_install pygame
Note, however, that: (1) https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html says that easy_install is deprecated and recommends using pip. (2) pygame is installed in the old standard python 2.7 folder rather than in the python 3.8.3 that I just installed -- though I was able to use it successfully in VSCode.
My system is also OSX10.9.2,and I also meet you problem,and I'm still try some;
Maybe this will be help for you:
there are some step:
1.Install [Quartz](https://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/);
2.Install Xcode-Command-Line,
but you may cant install it by `xcode-select --install`,
so you can down from
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action ;
I suggest you setup xcode,and this really solute my some problem;
3.`brew tap homebrew/headonly`
`brew install smpeg --HEAD`
`brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi`
4. `sudo pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame`;
if you clone this repo and try `python setup.py install`,you may meet some weird problem;
I have try install kivy which is base on pygame and I try lots of times,but just success install pygame one time.Then I uninstall it and also can't install it ;(

=======update
Now I have install pygmae sucess,remeber you should install xcode,not only xcode-command-line!
I managed to install pygame on Mac OSX 10.14.4 using the following:
brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi
sudo -H pip3.8 install pygame
This Work for me:
If you haven't installed Python/pip via homebrew (you're using the system-installed Python), you would likely need to run sudo pip3 install pygame.
Before running  pip3 install pygame, I had also installed Command Line Tools for XCode), as well as XQuartz, and the following homebrew packages: brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf smpeg portmidi.
If homebrew fails to install smpeg you might need to do the following:
brew tap homebrew/headonly
brew install --HEAD smpeg

Pygame examples not found in Ubuntu 20.04

I want to learn how to code in Pygame (python3.8.5, Ubuntu 20.04). I got pygame installed but it can find the examples. I tried to search for them manually and didn find them either. It seems that the examples were not installed at all.
Here's what I did so far:
The attempt to install pygame with pip failed due to tons of failed dependencies.
python3 -m pip install -U pygame --user
After searching a bit, I found this command, which installed pygame:
sudo apt install python3-pygame
But it fails when I try to run one of the examples:
user:~$ python3 -m pygame.examples.aliens
pygame 1.9.6
Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html
/usr/bin/python3: Error while finding module specification for 'pygame.examples.aliens' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.examples')
Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks!
The Ubuntu Package Maintainers have elected to not include the examples in python3-pygame. Tests and docs are also excluded.
You can access the examples from the pygame github repository.

iGraph install error with Python Anywhere

I'm trying to run a web app (built with flask-wtforms and using iGraph) on Pythonanywhere. As igraph isn't part of the already inculded modules, I try and install it using the bash console, as such:
pip install --user python-igraph
How ever, what I get is:
Could not download and compile the C core of igraph.
It usually means (according to other people having the same issue on Stackoverflow) that I need to first install:
sudo apt-get install -y libigraph0-dev
Except, apt-get isn't available on Pythonanywhere, as far as I know.
Is there any workaround to install the iGraph module for Python 2.7 on Pythonanywhere?
python-igraph installed perfectly fine in my account. My guess is that you're facing a different issue to a missing library. Perhaps a network error or something like that.

Installing Pygame without whl files [duplicate]

Currently unable to install Pygame via pip:
pip install pygame
Getting this message:
Concerned by it being termed an EOF error, is this an error in the module itself?
There's dev versions available as of now. Get them via
pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6
Pygame is not compatible with Python 3.8 at the moment. I would recommend you to downgrade back to 3.7 and installing with pip there.
pip is doesn't have pygame up.
But there is a alternative that worked for me. https://www.pygame.org/wiki/CompileWindows
Read and follow the steps correctly and it should install.
you also need to update your code to pygame 2.0.0 code because it's only for 3.8
BTW you have to follow the SDL2 instructions since pygame 2.0.0 uses that.
the above commands worked for me today 3-15-20 with Python-3-8-0 on Linux Mint 19
to get IDLE to recognize pygame.
sudo pip3 install pygame==2.0.0.dev6
I also had to update pip first with
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
Pygame requires visual studio C++ build tools to install. Ensure you have these downloaded from here.
Open power shell window and make sure your internet is on
Then type the following command
pip install pygame
It will automatically download it for you and also install it
Again make sure your internet is on
I have python 3.8.2 and it worked on my pc

Installing sphinx on Dreamhost

I'm following this tutorial: http://hughevans.net/2009/03/10/thinking-sphinx-dreamhost
I'm run into an issue when I run:
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/ --exec-prefix=$HOME/local/
I get an error: "cannot find MySQL include files."
I've checked and cant find mysql_config, so I'm guessing the mysql-devel package isn't installed.
My next step is to install the mysql-devel package from source, but I'm thinking that I may be missing something.
Has anyone found a solution for this issue?
(I'm using a VPS)
My next step is to install the mysql-devel package from source
Why from source?
Suggest just using a package manager to install the package.
I solved my problem by using a different user with root access.
With that user I installed sphinx with APT.
sudo apt-get install sphinxsearch
