Huh, I've never seen that build-dep command before. So that's supposed
to fetch all the dependencies so that I can compile it from source? Is
that command necessary for programs to be able to run pygame?
To answer your questions, I simply ran
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
then tried to run a game. No dice. So then, I tried to install pygame
from source using this:
sudo apt-get -b source python-pygame
That was stopped by some errors thrown by apt-get, not pygame. I'll try
your command later today when I have some free time, then I'll try using
that for my pgreloaded problem. Thanks for the new approach.

How are you using apt-get?
Here is what I do:
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
sudo apt-get build-dep python-pygame
The first line installs pygame and everything needed to RUN it. The
second line installs everything needed to recompile pygame from scratch.
What are you doing differently?

Yes, I have all the dev packages installed from apt-get. Unfortunately,
I'm starting to doubt whether I'm using apt-get right. I installed the
python-pygame package from apt-get to try it out; unfortunately, when I
try to run a game, the compiler says it can't find pygame. Am I missing a
step, like flushing the apt-get buffer or something? Maybe my installation
just hates pygame... :(

Make sure you also have the dev packages, that is, libsdl-ttf-dev,
libsdl-image-dev, and so on.
