Cannot install pgzero

[timension]

Have Python 3.9 and Pygame 2.0 installed. However, when I try to install Pygame Zero by typing pip install pgzero the installation exits with following error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

What is wrong and how can I avoid the error?

Workaround: pip install pygame==2.0.0 then pip install pgzero --no-deps

Hello. Or you can use devel version where it is fixed:

pip install git+https://github.com/lordmauve/pgzero.git

Wouldn't it be better to release a new version of pgzero? The latest release is from 2018.

I've released a new version 1.2.1.
