Ok, here is my python program:

import pygame, os, sys
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 400), 0, 32)
while True:
	for event in pygame.event.get():
		if event.type == QUIT:
			exit()
	pygame.display.update()

and here is what happens when i run it (I am using Ubuntu on my brand-new intel quad-core computer)

yanom@yanom-desktop:~$ cd app
yanom@yanom-desktop:~/app$ python test.py
  File "test.py", line 6
	while True:
		^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
yanom@yanom-desktop:~/app$

can someone please tell me why "while True:" is invalid syntax?

"while True:" is valid. I can't see anything wrong with your program. I don't have pygame installed so I can't test the whole thing. Maybe you could try commenting out different lines to isolate the problem?

This code works on Ubuntu, most probably your indentation is not appropriate.
