It works fine for me.

it doesn't for me.
What version of WinXP, what version of Python, and what version of 
Pygame are you using?
I'm using python 2.4.2 pygame 1.7 on winXP professional.
[snip code]
you meant K_ESCAPE not KEY_ESCAPE.

I used the following code:
#---- start
import pygame
pygame.display.init()
scr = pygame.display.set_mode((640,480))
looping = True
while looping:
           for event in pygame.event.get():
               print "event"
               if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                   looping = False
               if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == 
pygame.KEY_ESCAPE:
                   looping = False
#---- end

Whenever I run it from a command prompt, it closes the pygame window and 
gives me the prompt back
whenever I press escape or click the X.  What makes you think it's hanging?
Hope we get this figured out.
