See help on installing new modules for general info , but see this help page on tkinter/pygame -- pygame is mostly about drawing to the screen, reading from the keyboard and making sounds. There is no screen to draw on on pythonanywhere, no keyboard connected and no speaker, so it won't work unfortunately.
