Pygame screen freezes when I close it

Question

The code loads up a pygame screen window, but when I click the X to close it, it becomes unresponsive. I\'m running on a 64-bit system, using a 32-bit python and 32-bit pygame.<

Answer 1

Mach1723's answer is correct, but I would like to suggest another variant of a main loop:

while 1:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT: ## defined in pygame.locals
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

        if event.type == ## Handle other event types here...

    ## Do other important game loop stuff here.
