[Python] Closing Pygame Window

I just spent a fair amount of time finding a 64-bit installation of pygame to use with python 3.3, (here) and now am trying to make a window. However, although the window opens up fine it does not close when it hit the x button. In fact, I have to close IDLE to close the window. I am running a 64 bit version of Win 7. Here is my code:

import pygame
import time
(width, height) = (300, 200)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.display.set_caption("Hello World")
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False


When I append

time.sleep(5)
pygame.quit()


It still doesn't close. My only guess would be that pygame.quit might go inside one of the loops, but even if that were resolved I would greatly prefer being able to close the window when I want to.
