Pygame error: display surface quit: Why?

Question

Sorry if this question is dumb, but I am writing from China and for some unfathomable reason a lot of websites having to do with pygame are blocked. I can't access pygame.org, I have not been able to download the docs or even look at message boards having to do with pygame! WEIRD!

Anyways, I am a pygame newb and I need help with two things, I already asked stackoverflow for alternative sources of pygame docs. Until then, can anyone tell me why my app quits with pygame error: display Surface quit.

Please help, I will post my e-mail address if anyone wants to e-mail me the developer docs. Totally bizzare! Thanks again.

pygame.error: display Surface quit what does that mean?, i can't fix it

This means a call was made to pygame.display.quit() or pygame.quit(). If you try to do anything to the display surface after quit you will get this error.
