how should I download Pygame?

I want to start learning how to use Pygame. I haven't downloaded the actual file because I don't want to download a version that is old or not recommended. I'm using Python 3.4.

Which file should I download? The last one in the windows section below source?

pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2.msi 6.4MB

Also do I need to download any other software to make something in it? Other than of course the software for my music and graphics to put in.

Pip is by many the preferred way to install python libraries and modules. It is included by default with the Python binary installers since Python 3.4.

I believe you can simply install it with the command:

pip install pygame

If this does not work, you could just take the default approach which was mentioned in the comments. Download the latest stable version for a 32 bit system. Once downloaded, install it and test if it works by running:

import pygame

If nothing appears after running it, then you know Pygame has successfully been installed. Good job!
