Python crashing on loading pygame

Question

I have pygame and numpy installed and both seem to be working on win10 from python shell:

import pygame

(working)

put in a script:

import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import * 
pygame.init() 
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
pygame.display.set_caption('Hello World!')  
while True: # main game loop  
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT: 
            pygame.quit() 
            sys.exit()
    pygame.display.update()

Pygame window opens and python stops. Before I exit out of python says in the python shell "no module named pygame"

Did you check which version of python your shell is using, compared to which python is your system default? — blackbrandt

Try to install with pip. From the command line type:

pip install pygame

Check that pip is installing to the Python3 environment and not Python2. pip3 would be a better choice
