Pygame "No module called pygame.base"

This error bugged me for months, what i did was:

  1. Uninstalled the package

    pip3 uninstall pygame

  2. Purged the pip cache

    pip cache purge

  3. Finally...Reinstalled pygame using pip3

    pip3 install pygame

Worked like a charm :)


You probably have python installed for 32-bit. Uninstall and the install the 64-bit version. After that,

pip3 uninstall pygame

pip3 install pygame
