Problems playing sound in pygame Windows

Question

I have a little pygame project from a friend, an works in my machine, but in his machine Python throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/joaco/Desktop/RETO Starus/PingPong/Play.py", line 174, in main() File "C:/Users/joaco/Desktop/RETO Starus/PingPong/Play.py", line 151, in main puntos = bola.actualizar(time,pala_jug1, pala_jug2, puntos) File "C:/Users/joaco/Desktop/RETO Starus/PingPong/Play.py", line 48, in actualizar pygame.mixer.music.load(sonido_pared) pygame.error: Module format not recognized

Try asking your friend to do a clean install of python and pygame and make sure you both have the same versions. — DCA-

There may be a mismatch between pygame or python version between yours and your friends computer.

Run following program on both the machines and see if python and pygame version matches up.

For python 3.x you may have to use print with parenthesis.

import pygame  
import sys  
print "Python Version=",sys.version  
print "Pygame Version=",pygame.version.ver

Output

Python Version= 2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:24:55) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]
Pygame Version= 1.9.1release
