Build wheel on pip

so when i use pip install pygame it got error like

ERROR: Failed to build ‘pygame’ when getting requirements to build wheel

i don’t know what is buildwheel and how to fix this error

here is the complete error:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed to build ‘pygame’ when getting requirements to build wheel

It would be helpful to have more information on the system you are trying to install pygame onto. What operating system and Python version and how you have installed Python would be useful.

It looks like Pygame does not support Python 3.14 yet, so if you have installed the newest Python there’s a chance this is why you are getting this message. If this is the case you will need to get Python 3.13 in order to install Pygame.
