Which version of pygame is right for me?

I am trying to install pygame. But I am not sure which version is appropriate for me.

I am working on a Windows 10 AMD64 PC.

The version of Python that is installed, shows-

Python 3.7.4 (tags/v3.7.4:e09359112e, Jul 8 2019, 19:29:22) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

on typing python into the command prompt.

I can find the packages here and here.

But there are only items listed such as-

  • Download repository

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp34-cp34m-win32.whl

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-win32.whl

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

  • pygame-1.9.2-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

Now I have no idea which one of these is to get.

And, what are the differences among cp27, cp34 and cp35?

Please help me choose my version.

normally you should just type following command

py -m pip install pygame

On non windows system you just type

pip install pygame

and the correct file will be downloaded and installed.

The pip module will consult https://pypi.org to indentify the versions available and choses normally the right one
