I'm thinking you should probably throw a sudo on the front of that (or
whatever the Mac equivalent is).

Also, when looking to find the latest version of pygame, on the
pygame downloads site, I see version 1.9.1. But if I go to PyPi at
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygame#downloads
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygame#downloads>
It shows version 1.9.2. But that shows a wheel file (.whl).
Can anyone tell me if this is a more recent version that might
fix the problems that I am seeing? And if so, is there a simple
way to install a .whl file without going through a terminal prompt?
1.9.2 is the latest; unfortunately so far no-one has been able to
update the downloads page.
The normal way to use wheels (.whl files) is to 'pip install pygame'
at a command line. I don't know of a way to install them without
using the terminal, and I don't know anything about building Mac GUI
installers. Sorry!
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
