I keep receiving an attribute error in Pygame when attempting to create a window

I have only today started using pygame, and am just getting familiar with how to use it. I want to start out by simply creating a blank window. I have attempted using the code below:

import pygame

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
done = False

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

However, the window appears for only a second before disappearing, followed by the error message:

line 8, in for event in pygame.display.event.get(): AttributeError: module 'pygame.display' has no attribute 'event'

Can anyone help? Thanks

The documentation shows event as an attribute of the pygame module. I think you should change the line to pygame.event.get().

This makes sense given the error.

The event queue is accessed via the function pygame.event.get(). You are trying to use the pygame display. Also QUIT is not a function.

Please try:

import pygame

pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300))
done = False

while not done:
    for event in pygame.event.get():   # <-- HERE
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:  # <-- AND HERE
            done = True
    pygame.display.flip()
