I have been trying to get my code collecting which mouse button is pressed and its position yet whenever I run the below code the pygame window freezes and the shell/code keeps outputting the starting position of the mouse. Does anybody know why this happens and more importantly how to fix it?
(For the code below I used this website https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/mouse.html and other stack overflow answers yet they were not specific enough for my problem.)

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

# Set the height and width of the screen

screen = pygame.display.set_mode([700,400])



pygame.display.set_caption("Operation Crustacean")





while True:

    clock.tick(1)

    screen.fill(background_colour)



    click=pygame.mouse.get_pressed()

    mousex,mousey=pygame.mouse.get_pos()



    print(click)

    print(mousex,mousey)

    pygame.display.flip()

You have to call one of the pygame.event functions regularly (for example pygame.event.pump or for event in pygame.event.get():), otherwise pygame.mouse.get_pressed (and some joystick functions) won't work correctly and the pygame window will become unresponsive after a while.

Here's a runnable example:

import pygame





pygame.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

BG_COLOR = pygame.Color('gray12')



done = False

while not done:

    # This event loop empties the event queue each frame.

    for event in pygame.event.get():

        # Quit by pressing the X button of the window.

        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

            done = True

        elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:

            # MOUSEBUTTONDOWN events have a pos and a button attribute

            # which you can use as well. This will be printed once per

            # event / mouse click.

            print('In the event loop:', event.pos, event.button)



    # Instead of the event loop above you could also call pygame.event.pump

    # each frame to prevent the window from freezing. Comment it out to check it.

    # pygame.event.pump()



    click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()

    mousex, mousey = pygame.mouse.get_pos()

    print(click, mousex, mousey)



    screen.fill(BG_COLOR)

    pygame.display.flip()

    clock.tick(60)  # Limit the frame rate to 60 FPS.
