When I try to run this pygame code it instantly closes??

The window doesn't close instantly when I stop drawing text, so I know I must've done something wrong.

import pygame
background_colour = (255, 255, 255)
(width, height) = (1920, 1080)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.set_caption('fat')
screen.fill(background_colour)
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 32)
color = pygame.Color('dodgerblue2')
pygame.display.flip()
running = True
while running:
 for event in pygame.event.get():
 if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
 running = False




text = ""

while running:
 for event in pygame.event.get():
 if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
 vanishingtext += event.unicode
 text += event.unicode
 elif event.type == pygame.K_BACKSPACE:
 text = text[:-1] 
 elif event.type == pygame.K_RETURN:
 interpret(text)
 text = ""
 else:
 pass

 txt_surface = font.render(text, True, color)
 screen.blit(txt_surface, (50, 100))

i expect for a screen to appear that allows me to type and backspace, if i press enter the text should completely disappear and a function should run that will interpret the string. i haven't defined interpet as a function yet, but i'm doing it after i've figured out if i can even make it work on a screen.

The code is not calling pygame.init(). Also there's two event loops, the second of which will just drop straight-through once the running becomes False.

import pygame

pygame.init()

(width, height) = ( 400, 200)
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((width, height))
pygame.display.set_caption('fat')

background_colour = pygame.Color('white')
color = pygame.Color('dodgerblue2')
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 32)
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
running = True
text = ''

while running:

 # handle events and user-input
 for event in pygame.event.get():
 if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
 running = False
 elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
 if ( event.key >= pygame.K_SPACE and event.key <= pygame.K_z ):
 # Append key-stroke's character
 text += event.unicode
 elif ( event.key == pygame.K_BACKSPACE ):
 text = text[:-1]
 elif ( event.key == pygame.K_RETURN ):
 print("interpret(text) - NOT IMPLEMENTED")
 text = ""

 # repaint the screen
 screen.fill(background_colour)
 txt_surface = font.render(text, True, color)
 screen.blit(txt_surface, (50, 100))

 pygame.display.flip()
 clock.tick_busy_loop(60) # limit FPS

This code gives me a window titled "fat" with a white background. Typing on an english keyboard gives me blue letters, which can be backspaced. Pressing Enter is somewhat handled.
