I downloaded Python 3.7. It didn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled 
it, this time with the 'set environment variables' option (to allow 
'pip' to be typed from anywhere).

It still didn't work. I hid all the other Pythons. Same thing.

The following is the transcript. What is this "Setup" file of which it 
speaks?

-------------------------------------------------

c:\python37>pip install pygame
Collecting pygame
   Using cached pygame-1.9.3.tar.gz
     Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:


     WARNING, No "Setup" File Exists, Running "config.py"
     Using WINDOWS configuration...

     Path for SDL not found.
     Too bad that is a requirement! Hand-fix the "Setup"
     Path for FONT not found.
     Path for IMAGE not found.
     Path for MIXER not found.
     Path for PNG not found.
     Path for JPEG not found.
     Path for PORTMIDI not found.
     Path for COPYLIB_tiff not found.
     Path for COPYLIB_z not found.
     Path for COPYLIB_vorbis not found.
     Path for COPYLIB_ogg not found.

     If you get compiler errors during install, doublecheck
     the compiler flags in the "Setup" file.


     Continuing With "setup.py"
     Error with the "Setup" file,
     perhaps make a clean copy from "Setup.in".
     Traceback (most recent call last):
