Pygame 1.9.6 Not Loading In Python 3.8.1

Really strange issue here. I have a 64bit copy of Python 3.8.1 on my Mac (Catalina 10.15.2). I have successfully installed pygame via pip3 install pygame. Every time I run Python3

Solution 1:

I had the same issue. Did this in Terminal:

python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev6

and in PyCharm I installed pygame package once more into project interpreter with "Specify version" option selected for a specific version: 2.0.0.dev6

Then it started working.
