1.8.1 Packages (July 30 2008)

Source

Windows

Get the version of pygame for your version of python.  You may need to uninstall old versions of pygame first.
NOTE: if you had pygame 1.7.1 installed already, please uninstall it first.  Either using the uninstall feature - or remove the files: c:\python25\lib\site-packages\pygame  .  We changed the type of installer, and there will be issues if you don't uninstall pygame 1.7.1 first.

Unix Distributions

1.8.1 has been packaged up for most major distributions.  1.8.0 is already packaged for many newer distros, and 1.7.1 is available in almost all distros.  You can install 1.8.1 from source with python setup.py install.
