The problem is the pygame developers have not released a pygame for Python 3.9 and you're using Python 3.9. You can check the availability here: https://pypi.org/project/pygame/#files Easiest answer is to stick with Python 3.8.6 for now. Slightly longer: all those daunting error messages are because pip didn't find a wheel file matching your python version / operating system / architecture, and thus wants to instead download the source distribution and build it (that's the pygame\\setup.py). And that fails, as it normally does for Windows users. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
