How to use 2 python mods when they both require different python versions

Question

How would I use 2 different python mods in the same file when both mods require different python versions? I am trying to write a program that uses pygame, which only works with 3.2 and pymssql, which only works with 3.3. I get errors if I try to run them both in the same file(on either python version), but not if I run them separately.

There is no simple solution for you. In my opinion, it is the pygame communitie's responsibility to make it work on Python 3.3. Python 3.3 has a higher potential to be widely distributed than Python 3.2. Also, "supporting Python 3" nowadays should mean supporting Python 3.3/3.4, and not only Python 3.2. I guess this is on the todo list of the pygame maintainers. If in doubt, you might want to ask on the corresponding forums/mailing list if supporting Python 3.3 is already planned.

If you are curious and not frightened, you might event want to dig into why pygame fails on Python 3.3 and start fixing issue by issue. I guess this effort will be highly appreciated.

Edit:

I was assuming that you did your research homework a bit :-) Looks like pygame is available for Python 3.3: https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads Thanks @batbrat.
