Install Pygame for Python 3.4 on Windows


I have installed Pygame with the file pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.4.msi in the folder C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\Include (Python 3.4) on my Windows 7 OS. When I try to import it using import pygame it shows the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
     import pygame
ImportError: No module named 'pygame'

When I use LiClipse and include the folder C:\Python34\Lib\site-packages\Include in the pythonpath under External Libraries, there is no error message for import pygame anymore, but when I use pygame.init() I get the following error message

pygame.init()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init'

Did I install it into the correct folder, have I set the right folder in LiClipse (or should I have to set a folder in the first place), and what can I do to get this to work?
