[Tutor] Pygame install error

Hi,
I'm trying to install pygame on my Win XP machine. I'm running Python 3.2. I
can successfully use IDLE to run python scripts, and from the windows
command line can run python from any directory.

My PATH statement includes c:\python32;c:\python32\lib.

pygame .msi file I used:
pygame-1.9.1.win32-py3.1.msi

After running the pygame install, the python32 site-packages directory does
include a pygame folder and the file:
pygame-1.9.1-py3.1.egg-info

I'm wondering if pygame is supported for python 3.2 since the msi file
indicates 3.1?

Here's the error I'm getting:
====================
Python 3.2 (r32:88445, Feb 20 2011, 21:29:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> import pygame
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
