To try to get pygame 1.9.2 installed easily (without any package managers), I
tried doing the sudo install.
The install soaked correctly:
Collecting pygame
Downloading pygame-1.9.2-cp27-cp27m-macosx_10_9_intel.whl (4.8MB)
100% |████████████████████████████████| 4.8MB 125kB/s
Installing collected packages: pygame
Successfully installed pygame-1.9.2
IrvKalbs-MBP:~ irvkalb$
But when I tried a simple import of pygame in the shell, it still fails (with
the exact same message I saw earlier):
Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 12:40:10)

I am open to any other suggestions to get pygame running on Sierra with Python
2.7.13.
This should be easy ... but it is extremely frustrating that I've spent a few
days trying to get this environment set up.
