Installing Pygame on 64-bit Windows 7 and 64-bit Python 2.7

Question

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 .w

Answer 1

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
