Pygame is not working while in a Virtual Enviroment
1
I am trying to use pygame inside of a virtual environment so I don't have to install it on every computer I work on(I go to a school that has a few computer labs). It's installed and I can see it in the venv/lib folder but when I activate it and when I try to import it says that there is no module
python pygame python-venv

I'm sorry, I'm pretty new and I don't know what that means or how to do it.

A common cause of this kind of thing is mismatched python versions. Have you double checked that you haven't installed pygame for python 3 where you're using python 2 etc?

Trying runningwhich pythonin the terminal to make sure you are pointed at your virtualenv. Also, note that if you normally typepython3to run python3, but you set up a virtualenv, often times you will actually now typepythonto run that virtualenv's python
