It sounds like the problem is that you need to call:
pygame.display.update()
(or pygame.display.flip(), I think, if you're using double buffering)
to make what you've drawn visible. Unless you're running that command
frequently, as in a loop, the Pygame window will act broken. (I think
.update() also runs the event-handling code.) But you can still update
it manually.

Glad to get an easy question!
