Installing pygame for python3 in mac using anaconda

Question

I am trying to install pygame for python 3 and get the error: conda install -c cogsci pygame Solving environment: failed

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in 
conflict:
  - pygame
  - xlwt
 Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

Tried to install xlwt again but nothing change :

conda install xlwt
Solving environment: 
done 
All requested packages already installed.

Any idea how to install it?

Thanks

The UnsatisfiableError means that the two packages listed cannot be installed in the same environment. You need to create a new environment to install pygame:

conda create -n pygameenv -c cogsci pygame
