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.<

In using pygame, you have to handle all events including QUIT so if you don't handle the quit event, your program will not quit. Here's a code.

import sys
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

def main():
    running = True
    while running:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type==QUIT: #QUIT is defined at pygame.locals 
                runnning = False
    #other game stuff to be done

if __name__=='__main__':
    pygame.init()
    pygame.display.set_mode((640,480))
    main()
