Why does the pygame window become unresponsive? - pygame

Question

In a 'Pygame loop', I'm trying to ask for user input but when I run the program, the pygame window becomes unresponsive if I hover my mouse over it or click anywhere. Does anyone know what's going wrong?
import pygame
win = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 600))
win.fill((240, 240, 240)) #white
pygame.display.update()
#Game loop
quit = False
while quit == False:
for e in pygame.event.get():
if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
exit()
u_input = input("Enter 'q' to quit or 'n' to fill the window with navy: ")
if u_input == 'q':
quit = True
elif u_input == 'n':
win.fill((60, 55, 100)) #navy
pygame.display.update()

Unfortunately, this is just a nature of pygame. When you ask for an input, the program stops and waits for the user to input something, preventing the pygame.diplay.flip() from occuring.
There is two ways I can think of to fix this. Using, threads, one for powershell (terminal) and one for pygame should work, however I'm not familiar with that at all, so you would need to research for yourself.
A different solution is to listen for user input instead of using terminal prompts
#Game loop
quit = False
while quit == False:
for e in pygame.event.get():
if e.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if e.key == pygame.K_q:
quit = True
if e.key == pygame.K_n:
win.fill((60, 55, 100)) #navy
pygame.display.update()
