Unable to add packages

Hi
I'm new to repl.it and so far I've been wondering how I ever coded without it! It's awesome
A few minutes ago I tried to add packages like biopython and pygame. However, no matter how much I tried it always showed "Repl.it: Package operation failed."
Can someone help me?

How did you try to add the packages?
By doing:


from pygame import *

Or going through the GUI?

@CodeLongAndPros

Through the GUI but it doesn't work even when I add through text

Can you post a screenshot of what you are doing?

Here I have posted screenshots of both the methods (text and GUI). On the command line the message on the top pic shows what happens when I try it with text & the bottom pic shows the GUI result

Can you import other packages like numpy or getch?

@CodeLongAndPros

Sorry for the long delay it was nighttime where I live. For some reason it has no problems importing numpy and getch, and others like matplotlib

I think that the problem may lay with biopython. I’ll try installing it on my local machine.

, I tried installing it in a repl, and it worked. Can you try to make a new Repl?
