different versions of python and pygame and had same error.
Here is the error:

Looks like you are trying to run a 32 bit version of pygame on a 64 bit
version of Python. That does not work. Either switch to a 32 bit version
of Python or use an unofficial 64 bit build of pygame from
<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame>. Also consider
updating to Python version 2.6.6, which contains many bug fixes.
