Answer 1

Uninstall pygame before attempting each install with pip3 uninstall pygame.

Try using pip3 install pygame

if that doesn't work, try pip install pygame-menu==2.0.1

Also, if you have python installed multiple times, it could be installed on one of those.

Answer 2

If you are using Pycharm, go to File --> Settings --> Project settings --> Python interpreter. Here you can choose whatever package you want, then just click apply and it should work. I had the same problem, for me this worked.

Answer 3

You could use an interpreter with pygame built in (mu), which should work out of the box.
