local member referenced before assignment

I get this error "local member event referenced before assignment" in the following code. 

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

I even tried added global event before the beginning of for loop but then I'll get an error saying "event member not defined".

Can anybody please help me with this ?

See this example from the pygame docs: 

import random, time, pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
...
for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == QUIT:      #event is quit 
        terminate()

I'm guessing the problem is that you've imported pygame.event, so you're getting a name conflict. Change your import to just import pygame (and use the qualified reference pygame.event) or else, as suggested, use a different name for your iterator variable.
