The only requirement for Pygame that I know of is numpy (or Numeric if you're old school).
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Python and then retry. Make sure that you're downloading the correct binary installer for your system and version of Python.

ImportError: No module named pygame
i download all the required binaries mentioned in the installation doc. But when i try to run it, it still doesn't work. I check the path browser, the pygame folder does not show up. What might be the problem here?
*edit* I'm using python 2.5.2
Is the pygame folder located within your Lib\site-packages foler? If not, you probably did not install it in the right location and you could simply search for the folder and place it under that directory.. if it is there, you'll need to reinstall Python possibly because you installation might be hosed.
it is already in the site-package folder. and I've also tried re-installing python. it still doesn't work.
by the way, do you know how to insert a path? i think the problem might be there's not a path directed to the pygame folder within the site-package
It should search recursively but for sanity's sake open up a Python shell and type in: -
>>> import sys
-
>>> sys.path
-
['', 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python24.zip', 'C:\\Python24\\Lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\\wx\\py', 'C:\\Python24\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python24\\lib', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python24', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\pythonutils', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin', 'C:\\Python24\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode']
-
>>>
That'll tell you where Python is looking. You can manually add via
sys.path.append('C:\\Python25\\Lib\\site-packages\\pygame')
