Before I get into my issue here are some of my versions of software and operating system.

My OS: Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon version 5.2.7
My IDE: Visual Studio Code
Python version: 3.9.5 64-bit
I did try uninstalling pygame and python then reinstalling but it hasn’t done anything so far.

I have been learning some of the basics of pygame lately, it had been working fine up until recently. When ever I try to run my code it gives me this error.
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 120, in <module> from pygame.base import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.base'
I did try to uninstall python and pygame then reinstall them but when I tried to purge my cache like other posts recommend it said it wasn’t a command.
