Python pygame event loop type error

I am making a simple pygame game. My problem is, when I try to check if the user is clicking the exit button, I get an error. Here's the Code:

for event in pygame.event.get():
   if event.type == pygame.QUIT():
       pygame.quit()
       sys.exit()

Here's the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Rafi\Python Programs\Game.py", line 20, in <module>
if event.type == pygame.QUIT():
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

Also, this probably doesn't but i'm on Windows 8.

>>> pygame.QUIT
12

So, 

>>> pygame.QUIT() >> 12()
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

IN text, pygame.QUIT = 12 so doing pygame.QUIT() is equivalent of doing 12(), which is a call, which is not what you want.

Just change your line to:

if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

pygame.QUIT is a constant (12 in case you were wondering). It doesn't require any () after it. That's all your problem is.
