When I run this code it seems to wait till an event happens before adding new pixels to the screen. What can I do to get it to run until I click the mouse button.
You should google "pygame event handling" and study the articles you find. then, you can write code to perform a task when the user clicks, presses buttons, closes the window etc.
p.s. you should pick a better title for your thread, such as "how do I handle events in pygame".

You've made a simple mistake, by putting the rendering code in the same scope as your event handling code. That is, the lines from 'rand_col = (randint(0, 255), randint(0,255), randint(0, 255))' to 'pygame.display.flip()' fall within the for loop that checks for events. If there are no events to process during a frame, the rendering code doesn't get executed either. That's clearly not what you want. Luckily, the problem is easy to correct:
