Hi Rob,
Can you tell us a little more about how you installed it? That might give
us some ideas why Python wasn't able to find pygame. My initial guess is
that pygame didn't install in a place that Python expected, but we need
more information.
If we can't give a good answer, then you might want to talk with the
pygame mailing list too. They're located here:
http://pygame.seul.org/info.shtml#maillist
and they might know more about the peculiarities of pygame.
Good luck to you!
