Basic pygame template

This should be the start of any pygame project. It includes everything to import pygame, to set up the window, and to respond to closing the window:

#Import statements are to enable the code to use the functions from the library
import pygame
import sys
import os

#initialize pygame & window
os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1"
pygame.init()
SCREENWIDTH = 500
SCREENHEIGHT = 500
SCREENSIZE = [SCREENWIDTH, SCREENHEIGHT]
SCREEN = pygame.display.set_mode(SCREENSIZE)

#caption for the game
pygame.display.set_caption("My first game in pygame")

#game loop
while True:
    for events in pygame.event.get(): #get all pygame events
        if events.type == pygame.QUIT: #if event is quit then shutdown window and program
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

You should get something similar to this when you run the program:
