Pygame is correctly installed but won't import in python 2.7 file

System: OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

Language: Python 2.7 (must use 2.7 for class)

IDE: LiClipse

Background: For the longest time I could NOT get pygame to work at all in python. After much research I realized that pygame for mac is 32-bit while the general python 2.7 is 64-bit. So I uninstalled the 64-bit python and reinstalled 32-bit python 2.7.

Problem now: When I enter IDLE, I am able to write

>> import pygame
>> print(pygame.ver)

and 

1.9.1release

is successfully returned. No problem in IDLE

HOWEVER

When I enter LiClipse and simply run:

import pygame

The following is returned:

ImportError: No module named pygame

How is this possible if pygame can be imported in IDLE?

Make sure your IDE is running the same python version and same PYTHONPATH environment variable (check sys.version and sys.path from both IDEs).
