Unable to install 64-bit Pygame on Python 3.4 - python

I have 64-bit python 3.4 installed, which comes with pip. I wanted to install pygame, and I know that the 32 bit version that they have on their site wouldn't work with my version of python. So I downloaded the 64-bit python 3.4 pygame package from here (pygame‑1.9.2a0‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl). I renamed the package to pygame.whl and tried to use pip on the command line to install it, but it gave me this error;
Collecting pygame
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygame (from versions:
)
Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable
(use --allow-external pygame to allow).
No matching distribution found for pygame
So I tried using the --allow-external option, but it gave me a different error and asked me to provide a requirements file. I looked around, and found that I might need to try using the --pre option, but it gave me the exact same error as above regardless. How can I install the package?

The most likely reason you failed to install the .whl package is that you typed
pip install pygame
at the command prompt, instead of switching to the directory where you stored your renamed pygame.whl and running
pip install pygame.whl
pip requires that you give the full name of the file being installed.
The error message you got indicates that you ran the first command, and pip was looking in PyPI for pygame (which isn't there). The --allow-external command would have allowed you to specify a remote location where a source file or .whl file could be found.
In the future, I'd recommand not renaming the files downloaded from the (quite excellent) site you linked to, so that when you try to install them you're sure you're running the right command. Remember, you can always use Tab to complete file names on the command line.

I'm hitting a roadblock when trying to install Cython

I'm trying to install Cython, which I need for using another package. I have Xcode and a C compiler. I'm using a Mac (Big Sur) with python 3.9, but I have no experience with C.
I first tried using pip:
pip3 install Cython
This resulted in the message
Requirement already satisfied: Cython in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (0.29.23)
and I was unable to import the package into my editor, Idle. Usually, every package I install goes to
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages
so I tried downloading the zip file from https://github.com/cython/cython and placing it in the above site-packages directory. At the terminal, I changed to the directory cython-master and entered
python3 setup.py install
which seemed to work since a number of messages popped up on my screen, none indicating errors, and the whole thing ending with
Installed /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-
packages/Cython-3.0a7-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg
Processing dependencies for Cython==3.0a7
Finished processing dependencies for Cython==3.0a7
However, I'm still receiving a module not found error a my shell in Idle.
Typically happens with a wrong pip executable.
Use $ python -mpip install
Use virtualenverapper (or the standard library venv module)

Meeting a pip requirement using an alternative module

I'm trying to install a python module, 'pyAudioProcessing' (https://github.com/jsingh811/pyAudioProcessing) on my Linux Mint distribution, and one of the items in requirements.txt is causing issues: python-magic-bin==0.4.14. When I run pip3 install -e pyAudioInstaller, I get an error:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-magic-bin==0.4.14 (from pyAudioProcessing==1.1.5) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for python-magic-bin==0.4.14 (from pyAudioProcessing==1.1.5)
The same error appears if I try to manually install the module using pip3 install python-magic-bin. The module installs without issues on my windows machine.
pypi.org lets me download files for it manually, however only Windows and MacOS .whl files are available. I tried simply removing the requirement from the list, but that resulted in a large number of other errors to appear, so I assume the module is legitimately required.
Thee is another module called python-magic-debian-bin that I can download. Is there a simple way to convince pyAudioInstaller to use this other module instead of the original? Like can I somehow rename python-magic-debian-bin to python-magic-bin and hope it works out?
python-magic-bin 0.4.14 provides wheels for OSX, w32 and w64, but not for Linux. And there is no source code at PyPI.
You need to install it from github:
pip install git+https://github.com/julian-r/python-magic.git
As for pyAudioProcessing I can see 2 ways to install it:
Clone the repository and edit requirements/requirements.txt, replace python-magic-bin==0.4.14 with pip install git+https://github.com/julian-r/python-magic.git#egg=python-magic;
Install requirements manually and then install pyAudioProcessing without dependencies:
pip install --no-deps pyAudioProcessing
or
pip install --no-deps git+https://github.com/jsingh811/pyAudioProcessing.git
The library has updated the requirements very recently for it to work on Linux.
pip install -U pyAudioProcessing
Should get it all set up for you.
Alternatively, https://github.com/jsingh811/pyAudioProcessing the readme describes other getting started methods as well.

Pygame for Python 3.5.1 (Nothing I've tried has worked)

I've been trying to install pygame for Python 3.5.1 on Windows 10, 64 bit. Everything I've attempted so far has resulted in an error message in some form.
My latest attempt has been when I downloaded pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl (also tried the 32-bit, got same error) from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame and dragged the .whl file into Python35-32/Scripts. I then proceeded to go to command prompt and do the pip install thing, to which I got this message:
"Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pygame pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64"
I am aware that I may be installing it incorrectly, but from my understanding of other guides, this is what they say to have done. I would greatly appreciate help if possible.
It sounds like you've left the file extension off of the filename when you're calling pip install. Make sure you include the .whl extension, of pip will think the file name is the name of a package it should be downloading for you.
Pygame is not compatible with python 3.5. But it is with python 3.4. You can find binaries at: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads
For previous version of python: https://www.python.org/downloads/
The first thing to check is that you have the 64 bit version of Python (the default windows download is 32bit). If not, here's the link:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-360/
When you have the 64 bit python going, From the command prompt / Powershell, use "pip install pygame" or "python -m pip install pygame" then you will be sure the os, python, and pygame are all 64bit, mixing and matching doesn't work.

Trouble installing pygame using pip install

I tried: c:/python34/scripts/pip install http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
and got this error:
Cannot unpack file C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-b60d5tho-unpack\pygame
(downloaded from C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-rqmpq4tz-build, conte
nt-type: text/html; charset=utf-8); cannot detect archive format
Cannot determine archive format of C:\Users\Marius\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-rqmp
q4tz-build
Please if anyone have any solutions please feel free to share them!
I also tried
pip install --allow-unverified, but that gave me an error as well.
This is the only method that works for me.
pip install pygame==1.9.1release --allow-external pygame --allow-unverified pygame
--
These are the steps that lead me to this command (I put them so people finds it easily):
$ pip install pygame
Collecting pygame
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pygame to allow).
No distributions at all found for pygame
Then, as suggestes I allow external:
$ pip install pygame --allow-external pygame
Collecting pygame
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified pygame to allow).
No distributions at all found for pygame
So I also allow unverifiable:
$ pip install pygame --allow-external pygame --allow-unverified pygame
Collecting pygame
pygame is potentially insecure and unverifiable.
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 400 Client Error: Bad Request
Could not install requirement pygame because of HTTP error 400 Client Error: Bad Request for URL http://www.pygame.org/../../ftp/pygame-1.6.2.tar.bz2 (from http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml)
So, after a visit to http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml, I thought about adding the version number (1.9.1release is the currently stable one).

Hope it helps.
If you get trouble when install pygame error about missing visual studio 10+. I have the answer:
The problem is not about have or not have visual studio, because I try many version but it not work. The problem is file: between tar.gz and .whl
so, this is the solution:
1) Download file:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame
Go here and download your pygame version, notice about x64 or x86 and python version. My system is x64 and python is 3.4 so I choose: pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl
2) Put it in some where to install:
I put it in "C:", so open cmd: and type:
cd C:\ (this is change location to C:)
3) Install
pip install C:\pygame-1.9.2a0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl
Done !
I realized that the compatible Pygame version was simply corrupted or broken. Therfore i had to install a previous version of python to run Pygame. Which is actually fine as most modules aren't updated to be compatible with Python 3.4 yet so it only gives me more options.
I myself got this error(while using v3.10.0) and then I uninstalled the latest version and installed older version of python(v3.9.7) and it fixed the issue. Hope that works for you too. Honestly there are not many changes in the fix unless they jump from python3 to python4. so you dont need to update the python just for the sake of latest-ality

Install pywin32 with pip in Windows 7 does not work in python 3.4.2

Hy#everybody,
i've try to install pywin32 via pip (1.5.6) with python 3.4.2 under Windows 7, but i've always got the follwing error-message:
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pywin32
Some externally hosted files were ignored (use --allow-external pywin32 to all
ow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pywin32
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\tonka\pip\pip.log
All other installations with pip works absolutely fine. On pypi.org, there is an package for pywin32, so don't really understand why this is happening.
I've also tried this --allow-external flag, but then i got the following error
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pywin32
Some insecure and unverifiable files were ignored (use --allow-unverified pywi
n32 to allow).
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pywin32
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\tonka\pip\pip.log
Then i used the --allow-unverified flag and i get this error
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pywin32
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for pywin32
Storing debug log for failure in C:\Users\tonka\pip\pip.log
Is there a package in pip for pywin32 for 3.4? pypi-link
Does anybody has the same problem/behavior?
Edit:
For anybody who is searching for a way to install pywin32 via pip. Use the package pypiwin32 instead of pywin32, it is the same package, but it is pip-able
Greetings
Tonka
In answer to your first question, it appears that there is not a pip pywin32 package for python 3.4. If you take a look at this page: url https://pypi.python.org/simple/pywin32/, you can see that there is a 214_download_url. This indicates that version 214 is the latest available, and the 214 download directory here does not contain an installer for anything later than python 3.1.
In answer to your second question, yes, I see the same problem/behaviour with python 3.4.1. As mentioned by #sk11 in a comment, you can download an installer from here. (I can't add a comment because I don't have the rep.) I've just tried the installer and it appears to work fine.
