Note that pygame.event.get() doesn't block, so you're
spinning in an extremely busy loop here. The screen
mightn't be getting a chance to update.

Try putting a pygame.event.wait() call in the loop.

hi there! still nothing.. i've altro tried with pygame's event pump and wait and stuff, and nothing. then, the program worked beautifully without a problem.. till a reboot of the computer, when the same code (now) shows the same problem..

Are you using the IDLE editor? I seem to remember some talk about it causing problems similer to this. There was a command-line option that you had to add to make it run programs in a separate interpreter, which prevented its own event handler from colliding with pygame's

The IDLE problem isn't really a problem as such. Being an interactive session, the interpreter doesn't shut down when the Pygame code finishes. So pygame.quit is not called and the window remains visible. Restarting the interpreter or adding an explicit pygame.quit() closes the window. As for the OPs example code, I put it in a file and double-clicked. Worked fine.
