I'm assuming you have Windows. If you have a 64-bit machine, download this file: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.2.3/python-3.2.3.amd64.msi
If you have a 32-bit machine, download this file: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.2.3/python-3.2.3.msi If you don't know, go to Start > Control Panel > System, look at System type and it will say 64-bit or 32-bit. Run this .msi file and jut click Next a whole bunch until it finishes. (All the defaults are fine.) Then download this file for Pygame: http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2.msi Run this .msi file, all the default options are fine. This should install Python and Pygame. -Al On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 4:08 PM, Owen Rexian <outrex...@gmail.com> wrote: > Not 100% sure what the problem is... > > So you have downloaded the binary, opened it up, and then what? > > > On 4 October 2012 00:05, shane <shanevansh...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> Hi >> >> totaly a newbie in every sense >> >> was told to download 2.7 version but even when i go to instruction page i >> get lost again please some help >> >> i downloaded python-2.7.3 exe (15.5mb) what else do i need and where di i >> get it because there is a heck of a lot of files that i dont know what >> they >> mean or their purpose and it also talks of no scource code????? >> >> *Windows Binary Installer* >> This is probably the most popular method of installation.
