Just download the msi from the bitbucket site. You don't need to rebuild it unless you wanted to.

/The external libraries required to build Pygame for Pythons 2.6 and up./
/Just unzip the prebuilt directory into the root Pygame working directory/
/and run python config.py. Answer Y to use prebuilt./

1) Instructions aren not clear or accurate: what is the 'root Pygame working directory? Do they mean the Python folder?

2) There is no *config.py* file. There is an *Include folder*, *Lib folder*, and *Setup_Win.in* file that doesn't do anything. Right clicking there is no 'install' option, its not a python file. Its a text file that looks like this:

    Not sure if there is still an issue but you will probably want to
    download it from the bitbucket site.
    Last I checked (a month or so ago) the ftp download had issues
    with python versions greater then 3.3.1 which was fixed but wasn't
    updated on the ftp site.

    You need to install the version of pygame for python 3.3. The one
    you installed is for python 2.7.

        On my windows 7 PC, I installed Python 3.3.2 Windows x86 MSI

        Then I got pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.7.msi
        <http://pygame.org/ftp/pygame-1.9.1.win32-py2.7.msi>

        During the install of pygame it wanted to know where python
        was installed so I put in C:\Python33\ which is correct.

        Then I read  to check that Pygame is install correctly, type
        the following into the interactive shell:

        >>> import pygame



        and got this:

        Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

        *Why did it fail?*
