Pip Install EOFError

Viewed 11181

I am using windows 10 and recently updated to python 3.8. I'm trying to install pygame on the new version and tried py -m pip install -U pygame --user but got this error:

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't been able to find anything elsewhere and have never had this happen before.

welcome to Stack Overflow. We are glad to have you here. Sadly, I don't think pygame is very reliable with 3.8 at the moment. I would recommend downgrading back to 3.7 and installing with pip there.

Good luck!
