Pygame display not responding

I'm slowly trying to get to know pygame and write my first game in it and honestly, I didn't expect problems so early. So far I've only set a display, that is supposed to be there indefinitely (I just wanted to try it out):

import pygame

pygame.init()

(width, height) = (1000, 700)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
while True:
    pygame.display.flip()

But when the window appears it says it's "not responding". I tried deleting the loop so that display would just blink once and vanish, because programm would die immiedately after it's created, but I get the same "not responding" window. I'm using pygame 1.9.2 and python 3.5. I wonder if the trouble may be because of anaconda - the window is opened as subcart for anaconda by default.

Edit: So far I discovered that when I open it not from spyder, but just click on a file it works just fine. Is there any way to make it work by simple run and compile while in spyder or it's just how it's supposed to work?

#Try This 


import pygame

(width, height) = (1000, 700)
screen=pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.update()
while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():``
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            quit()

Add this to your loop. For me the only time it isnt responding is when I click the X and this could be to do with the fact that pygame doesn't know what to do when that happens.

import sys

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