Why can't I successfully install and then import pygame? [duplicate] - python

The title says it all. I do see similar questions, someone suggested about http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame, but all the pygame downloadable files are in .whl format which I have no idea how to run on Windows 7. I tried "cd [directory] > pip install [filename]" without success.

This worked from me (Windows 7, python 2.7, 64 bit):
pip install C:/Users/ujjwal.karn/Downloads/pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
I downloaded the file pygame-1.9.2a0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame as well.
In general, whl files are installed with pip:
pip install whatever.whl

Open the .whl file through WinRar and just extract the contents(you will find 3 folders) into your Python folder.
For example : if you had installed python 2.7.3 in C:, then your directory to extract will be C:\Python27

You are doing right. Please just check python command it should display win64
C:>python
Python 3.4.3 (v3.4.3:9b73f1c3e601, Feb 24 2015, 22:43:06) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (In
tel)] on win64 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
if output is win32 install pygame‑1.9.2a0‑cp34‑none‑win32.whl

package installed but not showing in the pycharm's available packages

I installed the PyAutoGUI package using pip install pyautogui.
I can tell it's installed since I can import it using the PyCharm terminal:
Python 3.6.5 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Mar 29 2018, 13:32:41) [MSC v.1900
64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyautogui
>>> print(pyautogui)
<module 'pyautogui' from 'C:\\python\\anaconda3\\lib\\site packages\\pyautogui\\__init__.py'>
>>>
My problem is: When I try to add it to my project virtual environment, I can't find it on the available packages. Is there any way to add it manualy ?
P.S.: This is how I'm trying to add it:
File>Settings>Project>Project interpreter>install(the green plus button)>available packages>install
Since you cannot find PyAutoGUI on available packages (for me it is there), you can try running
pip install pyautogui
in the pycharm terminal. If you have already installed it in the global site-packages, pip will use the cached files in installation instead of downloading it again.
I work around this problem by uninstalling anaconda python and pycharm then reintalling pycharm and python (not anaconda), now i can add modules to my venvs no problem.
Note: at first, the available packages list was empty until i added "https://pypi.python.org/" to my repositories using the manage repositories button.

Installing a Python module in Windows

I'm trying to install a Python module on my Windows computer. I installed the development version of the NetBeans IDE to use as my Python editor, and it seems that they install Jython 2.5 under their own program folder, and force you to use that installation for development.
I've been trying to install the PyWhois module for half an hour now, and I'm getting pretty infuriated with the kludginess of developing Python on Windows with Netbeans.
Does anyone know how to install modules with this setup? Should I destroy my dev environment and use something else that would be less rage-inducing?
Jython is Python for Java - are you sure this is what you want? I have answered this for "normal" Python for Windows, I assume this is what you are after.
To use Python under Windows, you need to install the Windows binary installer, which you can download from the Python download page. Make sure you choose the binary installer.
Next, you will need to install setuptools, which you can get from the python package index (pypi).
Once you have installed both, you have Python available under Windows. You should be able to open a command prompt and type "python" to get the python prompt, it should look like this:
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
Then, to install PyWhois, open a command prompt and type:
C:\>easy_install pywhois
You'll see output like this:

To confirm it is installed, you should be able to import it from Python:

>>> import pywhois

Netbeans 7.0 has removed Python support (see http://wiki.netbeans.org/Python70Roadmap) for more information.
