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.<

This is a pretty simple issue, you need to handle the "QUIT" event, see the event documentation at: http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/event.html

EDIT: It occurs to me now that you might be handling the "QUIT" event and its not working but without more details to your code I dunno.

A quick example of a simple way to handle the "QUIT" event:

import sys
import pygame

# Initialize pygame
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_mode(resolution=(640, 480))

# Simple(ugly) main loop
curEvent = pygame.event.poll()

while curEvent.type != pygame.QUIT:
      # do something
      curEvent = pygame.event.poll()
