what version of python are you using? not sure why it's downloading the tarball and not a wheel file.

Probably same issue as https://stackoverflow.com/a/64357034/11355791

[sgjava]

Python 3.8.10, yeah I've been googling around. Let me see what version of pygame will load and I'll modify the examples setup.

[thijstriemstra]

pygame is used for the luma.emulator package and is optional when using the examples.

[sgjava]

OK, so I added export PATH="/home/username/.local/bin:$PATH" then pip3 install pygame

It's breaking elsewhere now.

[thijstriemstra]

not sure why it doesn't install latest pygame (> 2.0).. but like I said, you should be able to ignore it unless you use the emulator.

[sgjava]

Yep, I'll close this out.
