why wont pygame work on windows?

I am using python 3.3 on windows 7 (64-bit) and am using pygame 3.3 (or trying to).

i use the msi installers from the official python website and the pygame msi installers from bit bucket (https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/downloads)

when i finish the install i have tried importing pygame in the python command line, the IDLE (python GUI) and useing a .py file. all of these haven't worked.

i type:

import pygame

when i do i the IDLE (python GUI) gives me this error message. https://i.sstatic.net/e3mHN.jpg

i have re installed both python and pygame multiple games and i don't know what i am doing wrong.

You're using a 64bit python with a 32bit binary install so of course it wouldn't work. Officially there is no 64bit installer for pygame, but this unofficial version works just fine.
