I keep getting an error when ever I try to use pygame.

Every time I use pygame I keep getting the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Askari/Desktop/game.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pygame
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/__init__.py", line 95, in <module>
    from pygame.base import *
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so, 2): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/base.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

I am new to python so I do not know how to solve it.

Be sure your Python version and pygame version are both 64-bit or both 32-bit. "no matching architecture" implies a mismatch.
