RE: [pygame] Is there any reason to call sys.exit() to close a pygame program?

I would suggest you to use return instead of sys.exit()

def main():
    window = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
    pygame.display.set_caption("sample")
    while True:
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                pygame.quit()
                return
        pygame.display.update()

main()

If you need to use an exit function, then I've found using the built-in
exit() function gives an error if you use pyinstaller to create a
frozen binary. That's the only reason I try to use sys.exit(). I've not
had any problems just allowing the execution to reach the end of the
file and completing naturally though.
