Answer 1

You can use pip show pygame to view the package installed location.

And check whether the installation location is consistent with the version corresponding to the selected Python interpreter.

There are two ways to solve this problem:

1. "ctrl+shift+P" and change the python interpreter.
2. If you don't want to change the interpreter, you can use pip -t flodername pygame #flodername is your used python package location. Install the pygame package to the specified directory

Answer 2

First, try restarting your computer or vs code

Use this command in your vs code terminal if the above doesn't work:

pip uninstall pygame

Then reinstall pygame using:

pip install pygame

If this also does not work then follow these steps:

1. Go to the scripts folder of python.

2. Open command prompt or Powershell in the script folder.

3. Use this:

   C:\python34\scripts> python -m pip install pygame

Done
