So I have this little problem. When I try to install PyGame for Python 3.4 I download a .whl (wheel?) file and don't know how to use it. Some guys told me something about pip but don't know how to use/install it.

Open a terminal, and type 'sudo apt-get install idle pygame', enter your password and type 'y' at the prompts, if necessary. 2. After the installation completes, enter 'python' in the terminal to launch Python. Verify that it's using version 2.7 or newer, then at the Python prompt enter 'import pygame'.
First Check you are using python's latest version or not. Because the PyGame is only supported python 3.7. 7 or higher version so make sure you are using the latest version of python.
pygame works with most versions of Python, but Python 3.6 is recommended and used throughout this article.
Pygame on Python 3.8 You should use the same command you use to run a Python terminal session on your system, which might be python , python3 , py , python3. 8 , or something else. If you've had any issues running Pygame on macOS, this version of Pygame should address those issues as well.
You can install the wheel file for Python 3.4 here:
First you have to install the wheel package from pip then install Pygame.
pip install wheel
pip install pygame‑1.9.2a0‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl
Here's a video to help you install pip on Youtube.

Here is a great VIDEO tutorial: http://goo.gl/PurJqk (it is on youtube)
This is what I use to install .whl modules to python (I do this in the 64 bit windows cmd):
cd "C:\Users\(YOUR USERNAME)\Desktop"
(assuming that you have the .whl file on your desktop)
C:\Python34\Scripts\pip install filename.whl
(where filename.whl is the full name of the .whl file, with the .whl extension)
After that it will install, and you are free to use PyGame!
