Can’t install pygame with pip as there is an error whilst runningvsetup.py bdist_wheel for pygame

MacOS

Question or issue on macOS:

I am trying to install pygame for Python 3 on an anaconda install.

I run pip install pygame, and it outputs the following:

Yes, it’s huge! I have cut out loads of lines like copying lib/… to fit inside the 30,000 character limit of SE.

I have tried the following:

pip install pygame
pip install pygame --no-cache-dir
pip install pygame --force-reinstall
pip install pygame --no-binary :all:
pip install pygame --no-use-wheel

They all gave basically the same error.

I can’t work out what is wrong, as this is a brand new install of anaconda.

The lines:

#include "SDL.h"
             ^
    1 error generated.
    error: command '/usr/bin/clang' failed with exit status 1

are obviously the most important part, which implies a bug in the code. Is there an obvious error here? If it is a Python script, then it shouldn’t be run, as it is commented out.

I’ve googled the error, and other people with a similar error like here needed to run xcode-select –install to solve it.

If I run that, I get this:

xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

So that is not my problem.

There is also the important line:

Running setup.py bdist_wheel for pygame ... error

Does anyone have any insights that might help me?

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

Just run this and you’ll be able to work with the latest version of PyGame.
This command installs the missing dependencies that cause your error.

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi

Then you can run pip install pygame and it will work fine.

Solution no. 2:

The problem is in new XCode that shut down some support ( I got similar issue with wxPython ) but I managed to make pygame work (version 1.9.2) so try pip install pygame==1.9.2 since it is by default trying to get 1.9.3

Also the #include "SDL.h" is C++, not python, so it is not a comment, rather it is importing a library SDL 🙂

Hope this helps!
