title: Installing pygame module in anaconda mac
body: <p>I have <a href="http://www.continuum.io/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Anaconda</a> installed on my mac. And it has messed with my pygame module.</p>
  
  <p>I tried following this <a href="http://programarcadegames.com/index.php?chapter=foreword&amp;lang=en#section_0_1_2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a> and replacing <code>pip3 install pygame</code> with <code>conda install pygame</code>. I have tried <code>conda install pip</code> and then <code>pip install pygame</code> yet i get the following error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Collecting pygame
    Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pygame
    Some externally hosted files were ignored as access to them may be unreliable (use --allow-external pygame to allow).
    No distributions at all found for pygame
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(ideas i got from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25467595/unable-to-pip-install-packages-in-anaconda">thread</a>)</p>
  
  <p>Using the "pip install pygame" worked before i did the "conda install pip" however my default python is now the anaconda one and no longer accesses pygame. Using <code>which pip</code> gives <code>/Users/jensdonlin/anaconda/bin/pip</code></p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have some suggestions that would allow anaconda's version of python3 to access pygame?</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps the answer involves <code>use --allow-external pygame to allow</code> but im not really sure how to use that. </p>
