[Python] Pygame window not showing on macOS Catalina

Running:
macOS Catalina 10.15.1
Python 3.8.0
Pygame 1.9.6
IDE - Visual Studio Code 1.40.2

When I launch the Pygame test:

python3 -m pygame.examples.aliens


The music begins playing and after about 5 seconds the app closes. No window appears. The icon in dock shows up until it's closed.

The same thing happens with a basic test code such as

import pygame

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
done = False

while not done:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
done = True

pygame.display.flip()


There are no error messages in the terminal.

Anybody have this issue? I've tried reinstalling both Python 3.8.0 from the website (as recommended in a different thread) as well as Pygame.
