ImportError: No module named pygame

Question

I 'm a programmer and I make games. I most commonly use pygame. But on VS code it gives me a 'ImportError: No module named pygame' error. The rest of the web says that I'm using python 2, but I have python 3.9, the image below for proof:

I've Tried running it with Python IDLE and it works, I even used the 'pip freeze' command and it it shows pygame in the list. I even tried uninstalling pygame and reinstalling it, but it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance

Hello @Prabodh Prasad ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Perhaps you need to try to switch and select python3 to use it(cause the module may be installed in python3). Please kindly follow this document: Using Python environments in VS Code to switch and select python3.

BTW, since Visual Studio Code is different from Visual Studio, and our forum(Microsoft Q&A vs-general) is about Visual Studio IDE, you can post your issue on Stack Overflow for technical support.

Hope this helps and thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,
Tianyu
