I am running Python 3.5 and I want to install PyGame, the website only supports up to version 3.2. I have tried a few forums on this and other websites but they are all for Python 3.4. Does anyone know were I can find the install file for Python 3.5 and how to install it?

You didn't specify which OS you are using, but I just successfully installed PyGame directly from Mercurial on OS X for Python 3.5.1 (via Homebrew, brew install python3) with the following command:
pip3 install --user hg+http://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame
This should work on Linux as well.

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygame
>>> pygame

I haven't tried on Windows, but this blog post has some suggestions on how to make compiling Python C extensions on Windows work, for different Python versions -- apparently you just need to install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.

If you are on Windows and you have installed Python via Anaconda (which I recommend) you can simply open Anaconda prompt and simply type pip install pygame and you 'll get the latest version.
