pygame_sdl2.error is out of date

[SuperEpicness]

When I tried installing pygame_sdl2 to my computer, this error keeps showing up: C:\Python27\pygame_sdl2>python setup.py install pygame_sdl2.error is out of date. Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 110, in <module> cython("pygame_sdl2.error", libs=sdl_libs) File "C:\Python27\pygame_sdl2\setuplib.py", line 245, in cython c_fn]) File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 185, in check_call retcode = call(*popenargs, **kwargs) File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 172, in call return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait() File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 394, in __init__ erread, errwrite) File "C:\Python27\lib\subprocess.py", line 644, in _execute_child startupinfo) WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

pygame_sdl2_windeps is in the correct folder, cython is installed on my computer, and I've tried running it with the administrator command prompt as well, so what's going on?

That most looks like a dll error to me, so probably windeps related. Could you show us a screenshot of your pygame_sdl2 directory in windows explorer/file manager, whatever they are calling it these days? A link to Imgur or something is fine.

I guess you could also double check you can run python from the command line (i.e. python is on your PATH environment variable).

Ah, hang on. Have you installed the Visual Studio C compiler?

If this is the first python library you have built from source you will need to grab that as well. The only other slightly odd thing I can spot is that you are building pygame inside your python directory which, while I don't think it will cause any problems, isn't necessary.

I already have the Visual C compiler installed.

[MyreMylar]

Well I'm out of ideas, let us know if you figure it out.

Good luck!

I had the same issue,

To fix it I changed the line 59 in setuplib.py by cython_command = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.executable), "cython.exe")
