Python PyGame installation
Most packages are available from pip as precompiled .whl.
PyGame is quick and trivial to install on most devices, and PyGame allows playing sound from Numpy arrays.
pip install pygame
pip prefers .whl binaries over compiling.
Source compile pip (optional)
Force PyGame manual source compilation:
apt install mercurial ffmpeg libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libfreetype6-dev libavformat-dev libportmidi-dev libswscale-dev
pip install hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
If pip isn’t working to install PyGame
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
cd pygame
python setup.py install
