Are you asking for advice how to install pygame on SuSE 10 ?
Well, that's easy:

python-pygame....rpm comes with SuSE.
Just install it with YaST2; the additional packages it
needs (like libSDL) are installed automatically then.
So you don't have to download any packages from www.pygame.org.

Another hint: If sound in pygame doesn't work, try

export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa

right before starting your script.
