Python pygame window keeps crashing

Whenever I run my code the Python Window that shows up does not respond.
Is there something wrong with my code or do I have to re-install pygame and python?
I get a black pygame window and then it turns white and says not responding?
Also I am new to this so please make this as simple as possible. I tried looking everywhere for the answer but could not get it in a way that I could understand.
Please help me out. Thanks :)

1 - Import library

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

2 - Initialize the game

pygame.init()
width, height = 640, 480
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))

3 - Load Images

player = pygame.images.load("resources/images/dude.png")

4 - keep looping through

while 1:
    # 5 - clear the screen before drawing it again
    screen.fill(0)
    # 6 - draw the screen elements
    screen.blit(player, (100,100))
    # 7 - update the screen
    pygame.display.flip()
    # 8 - loop through the events
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        # check if the event is the X button
        if event.type==pygame.QUIT:
            # if it is quit the game
            pygame.quit()
            exit(0)

Replace that for loop with this

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

From my personal experience,if you run pygame code from IDLE it often does not respond at all.Try saving your project as a .py file and then run it with python.exe.It always works for me. And as furas said use

player = pygame.image.load("resources/images/dude.png")

instead of

player = pygame.images.load("resources/images/dude.png")

Don't import pygame.locals. It is actually unnecessary, since you are already importing pygame.

Also, as @furas said, it should be:

player = pygame.image.load("resources/images/dude.png")

Not:

player = pygame.images.load("resources/images/dude.png")

This will clear up some of the problems in your code.
