What platform are you running this on? On a unix type system ctrl-c is
good at stopping pygame.

You definitely want to add a pygame.event.pump() call to your inner
loop. You could also at least test for a QUIT event. That will allow
closing the display window to stop the program.

    while m.get_busy():
        print time.time()
        time.sleep(1)
        for e in pygame.event.get():
            if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
                import sys
                sys.exit()
