Using home-brew I have installed pygame as homebrew says this

"Requirement already satisfied: pygame in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages (1.9.1release)"

but when I run idle3 and import pygame, python says this

">>> import pygame
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    import pygame
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'"

In your question, you said you used homebrew. - jambrothers

Add /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages to your system path so Python knows to search here for libraries.

Here's a tutorial here

When running Idle3, you are likely not invoking your Python 2.7 interpreter for which you've installed pygame.

Does it work if you run python2.7 from the terminal and then import pygame there?
