During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It seems PyGame isn't installed properly. Considering you're on OS X, could you make sure you've installed PyGame in the Python installation that you are using for webcam-eyetracker? What happens if you try import pygame?

For me import pygame work under the python shell, and import pygame.camera also work but pygame.camera.init() throw the error : ImportError: cannot import name '_camera'

I have the same problem as @SuperstrongBE, imports work but pygame.camera.init() throws ImportError: cannot import name _camera.

Edit: Seems like pygame.camera is not supported on OS X.

I'm moving towards OpenCV, and just leaving the old PyGame implementation there for historical purposes. I suggest trying the OpenCV code: https://github.com/esdalmaijer/webcam-eyetracker/tree/master/PyOpenCV
