Description

I downloaded the pygame package using the pip virtual environment, and copied the entire Lib folder generated by the pip virtual environment to the Debug folder and referenced it in the program. However, why would an error be reported?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Ironpython 3.4 in nuget package manager
2. Run "python - m venv env" to create a python virtual environment
3. Run "env Scripts activate. bat" to enable the Python virtual environment
4. Run "pip install pygame" to download the latest package for pygame
5. Copy the Lib folder under the env folder created by pip to the project output path

Versions

IronPython 3.4 Python 3.9 (64-bit)

The ImportError you're seeing occurs when the import system fails to find the module (usually because system paths are not properly set). However, pygame uses of C extensions and so won't work with IronPython.

So you means that IronPython is not support 'pygame' lib?
