Python3.10 pip and pygame

I have installed the current Python, pip and pygame using PackMan.
Python runs successfully but it cannot find pip.

Python 3.10.0a5+ (riscos-1, Feb  8 2021, 10:58:52)
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license"..
>>> import pip
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'
.....
>>> import pygame
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame'

Is it because Python is at level 3.10 and pip is 3.8 or do I have to install Pip and Pygame
in some way?

is it because Python is at level 3.10 and pip is 3.8 ?

yes – run 3.8 and all is well

Does pygame work on all platforms, or just Pi? (IIRC a previous version of pygame had a Khronos dependency, which made it Pi exclusive, but I may be confusing it with SDL2.0.)

Upgrade pip

python -m pip install —upgrade pip

for Python 3:

python3 -m pip install —upgrade pip

for Python 2:

python2 -m pip install —upgrade pip

It works on ARMX6 running Python3.8 but it needs the SDL Library to be installed in addition to what it prereqs.

Yes – Python 3.10 is still a bit of an alpha / beta release – it was more a “see how much effort is needed”, which turned out to be “not too much”.

I should do a merge from upstream at some point, and an update to 3.8. So much to do, so little time …
