Hello
Under WinXP starting a pygame program from command prompt that does
not use the pygame.quit() function will hang while quitting!
It works fine for me.
Well documentation sais:
Uninitialize all pygame modules that have previously been
initialized. When the Python interpreter shuts down, this method is
called regardless, so your program should not need it, except when
it wants to terminate its pygame resources and continue. It is safe
to call this function more than once: repeated calls have no effect.
Note, that pygame.quit will not exit your program. Consider letting
your program end in the same way a normal python program will end.
I do not know, why it will hang under WinXP (startet at command
prompt)? Inserting the line "pygame.quit()" does the trick.
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.

Hi
apologies for my premature email. I just tested it in a small examples.
It did work as expected, although I have seen it hanging sometimes, but
could not reproduce it, sorry. I will watch it more carefully.
