Thanks very much for your response. I cleared out my 1.9.1 version of pygame,
and used pip. Here's what happened:
IrvKalbs-MBP:~ irvkalb$ pip install pygame

However, that did leave me with a pygame folder and a pygame-1.9.2-dist-info
folder in my site-packages folder. And when I try to do import it from the
shell in IDLE, I get this:

Something looks very wrong. Any other suggestions for getting a stable
Python/IDLE environment with pygame on Mac Sierra (10.12)?
Thanks,
Irv
