I am trying to download Python but I have windows 10 and I do not see a

What page are you looking at?
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-351/ has downloads for
both Windows x86 and Windows x86-64.
The other question is are you sure that 64-bit Python is what you
want? If your Python is 64-bit then I believe that any extension
modules you use need to be compiled 64-bit as well. On a 64-bit
Windows system you can run either 32-bit or 64-bit Python, and AFAIK
it's more common to use 32-bit Python.
I've been running 64 bit Python on Windows for years with no problems. Why
use 32 bit? I certainly don't understand why you'd need to.
It seems to be easier to find 32-bit binaries for libraries. For
example, the official Windows build of pygame is only 32-bit. If
64-bit only works for you though, then by all means use it.
As http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml hasn't been updated since August
6th 2009 and only goes up to Python 3.2 I'd stick with
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pygame which gives a 64 bit
3.5 download.
