Pygame not working on mac, console says no module called pygame

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "alien_invasion.py", line 3, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame

Console says there is no module named pygame, but I've downloaded pygame already and IDLE allows me to import pygame and use it.

In the console you can use the command python --version to see the default version of Python you are running. Most likely what is happening is you have a different version of Python running in the console than you do in IDLE. You can specify when you run it.

Try each of these in the console:

python2 alien_invasion.py

or

python3 alien_invasion.py
