Pip not working when I try to install Pygame for Python 3.6 [Outdated]

I am using windows 10 home edition 64-bit edition. I am using python 3.6 64-bit edition. I have tried to solve the error by running a clean install of python but that didn't solve the problem.

I tried to install pygame via pip, but the following results were produced:

    C:\Windows\system32>pip install pygame
    Collecting pygame
      Using cached pygame-1.9.2.tar.gz
        Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:


    WARNING, No "Setup" File Exists, Running "config.py"
    Using WINDOWS configuration...

    Path for SDL not found.
    Too bad that is a requirement! Hand-fix the "Setup"
    Path for FONT not found.
    Path for IMAGE not found.
    Path for MIXER not found.
    Path for PNG not found.
    Path for JPEG not found.
    Path for PORTMIDI not found.
    Path for COPYLIB_tiff not found.
    Path for COPYLIB_z not found.
    Path for COPYLIB_vorbis not found.
    Path for COPYLIB_ogg not found.

    If you get compiler errors during install, doublecheck
    the compiler flags in the "Setup" file.


    Continuing With "setup.py"
    Error with the "Setup" file,
    perhaps make a clean copy from "Setup.in".
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "C:\Users\*****~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-ciac4jty\pygame\setup.py", line 165, in <module>
        extensions = read_setup_file('Setup')
      File "c:\program files\python36\lib\distutils\extension.py", line 171, in read_setup_file
        line = expand_makefile_vars(line, vars)
      File "c:\program files\python36\lib\distutils\sysconfig.py", line 410, in expand_makefile_vars
        s = s[0:beg] + vars.get(m.group(1)) + s[end:]
    TypeError: must be str, not NoneType

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\*****~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-ciac4jty\pygame\

What caused this error? How do I solve it?

pygame isn't (officially) compatible with Python 3.6 yet(Jan 5, 2017). Try a lower version of Python like 3.5.2
