I have begun to use Python as a stepping stone to advanced C++ and simple game-making. However, after installing both Python and pygame I have run across a problem. After running the following code, my pygame window hangs and fails to respond forcing me to close the window and start all over again. Is this IDLE that is causing the hang-up, or the code itself, or perhaps lack of files?

import pygame, sys,os
from pygame.locals import * 
 
pygame.init() 
 
window = pygame.display.set_mode((468, 60)) 
pygame.display.set_caption('Monkey Fever') 

I've had this problem before, and I believe that IDLE is the cause. Try putting your code in a file and running it with the command line Python interpreter.

Worked fine, thanks. :)
