"pygame ImportError: No module named pygame"

I get this on my Android Moto G phone when running a simple QPython script. I should point out that this script used to work - so I suspect that QPython, Android, pygame, or something has taken an auto upgrade which has gone bad.

I tried to install pygame in the pip console, but it told me that pygame was already installed.

So, what's gone wrong !!! ????

Thanks.

  • From your tag, are you trying to run a kivy app? This uses pygame as a backend on android, but in this case it's up to qpython to make sure it's available. I'd try reinstalling qpython if you haven't already, but if that doesn't work you'll probably have to look for qpython-specific solutions. – inclement Aug 14 '15 at 13:22
  • I can't reinstall QPython because I can only see QPython3, Not QPython2.7 . Unfortunately, QPython3 doesn't (yet) support kivy, so I have to use the 2.7 version. – Nick Aug 14 '15 at 13:56

The shell is telling you it cannot find the module named "pygame" The module "pygame" is either not installed or you have typed the name incorrectly. Try reinstalling the pygame module

  • OK, I uninstalled pygame, using the QPython interface. – Nick Aug 14 '15 at 12:56
  • But, installing it now has a problem ! – Nick Aug 14 '15 at 12:56
  • I'm using 'pip install pygame', but it's downloading "pygame-1.9.2pre-py2.7-macosx10.7.mpkg.zip" . That doesn't sound like the correct package for my Android Moto G phone !!!???? – Nick Aug 14 '15 at 12:58
  • Oh, and by the way, I can't have typed pygame incorrectly - because it's not used in my simple script. It must be being used, though, by one of the imports, such as kivy or tkinter. This script used to work until something did an auto upgrade and broke things !!! – Nick Aug 14 '15 at 13:00
