Geany as IDE for Python-Pygame

[ghost]

I have started to use Geany 1.25 as IDE for pygame, so i am not quit sure whether this i a geany bug or i am doing something wrong. I tested the following and the problem is that by clicking on the close button nothing happens and the pygame window dosn't close (which actually should happen!). Can anyone help me with this? I am on an ubuntu 15.10 machine and have installed geany from its software center.

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()

RED=(100,0,0)

screen=pygame.display.set_mode([500,500])

screen.fill(RED)

runs=True

while runs:
    for e in pygame.event.get():
        if e.type==QUIT:
            runs==False
    pygame.display.flip()

pygame.quit()

The runs==False looks wrong, but I think it should cause a compile error, not do something weird at runtime like C/C++ would.

You could try sticking print("Quitting") in the if e.type == QUIT block. If it prints "Quitting" when you press the close button, try replacing it with sys.exit() and see if it quits.

Hello and thanks for your help. I did what you said and it works! On other editores however i only having a pygame.quit() would suffice to close the window. Why is this not the case on the GREAT Geany?
(I really just started to work in geany and loved it immidiately, i think i have now found lastly the editor i can enjoy!)

Okey , i see my typing problem now, it should be runs=False not runs==False.

I guess I over-estimated Python's compiler, indeed it gives no warnings for using an expression statement like that, and just discards the boolean result of the comparison (or in interactive interpreter, prints 'False').
