Pygame error: No module named 'pygame.base'

Viewed 6535

I'm using Python 3.5, and the version of pygame designed for it. I have now installed pygame, by converting to zip and moving the files like in this video here. However when I run the command import pygame, the error ImportError: No module named 'pygame.base' appears.

Using this method of installation has worked fine in the past, but ever since getting a new PC, isn't working. What is wrong, and how do I fix the problem?

Edit:

I tried using the answer found on Game Dev SE, however this gave me the error: not a supported wheel on this platform

The version of pygame I'm trying to install is: pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl. Which can be found here.
