I am running in ubuntu and I can code in python, without problem. I have tried to install pygame and to do make it so, I did:

sudo apt-get instal python-pygame

When I go into the python IDLE and write:

import pygame

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: No module named pygame

What can I do to solve this problem? I am forgetting something, or doing something wrong?
If you don't like to download an unpack then install manually, you can use apt to install  setuptools . After that you can use easy_install(or easy_install-2.7?) to install many python packages, including pygame, of course.
