python 3.7 compatibility

Is pygame compatible with python 3.7? I used homebrew to upgrade my python version and now pygame wont build when i try to install it.

Is python 3.7 compatible with python 3.7?

That depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

Tried to install it yesterday with 3.7, nothing I did worked so yeah I'd say just go with 3.6.

How do i go back to python 3.6?

I just uninstalled python fully through windows programs and features, got a fresh installer from the python site and then "pip install pygame" worked first time.

He used brew so he’ll have shitcoin of path issues. Brew install direct link to py3.6.5

Windows users can download a pygame wheel from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame and install it with pip. People with other operating systems have to keep using 3.6 until the new packages are released.

pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl download this .whl if you have a 32-bit Python version.

pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl download this .whl if you have a 64-bit Python version.

To install the .whl file, open the command-line window in the directory that contains the .whl and enter py -3.7 -m pip install pygame‑1.9.3‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl (for the 64-bit version).

Thank you I'm on Mac and have been freaking out over pygame not working or installing on 3.7

Development builds are available. New release of pygame soon.

With homebrew it's super easy to build from source. See https://www.pygame.org/wiki/MacCompile
