title: Importing Pygame, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.base'
body: <p>I’m having trouble importing the <strong>Pygame</strong> module. I installed pygame using the following command in the terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install pygame 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I enter </p>
  
  <pre><code>import pygame
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and run the script, I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  
    File "C:\Users\Pruthvi\.spyder-py3\temp.py", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
      import pygame
  
    File "C:\Users\Pruthvi\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Lib\site-packages\pygame\__init__.py", line 130, in &lt;module&gt;
      from pygame.base import *
  
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.base'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried uninstalling and installing pygame many times. This seems to be a common problem amongst many, yet I haven't found a solution that works on StackOverflow/Reddit. </p>
  
  <p>I'm on <strong>windows</strong> running the latest version of <strong>python (3.8.2)</strong>. </p>
