The program is still running! Do you wan to kill it.

I am getting this error "The program is still running! Do you wan to kill it?" from the python IDE when I run the following code. Any ideas why this is happening?

#!/usr/bin/python

It's a long code, but you may have and endless loop somewhere.

If you click the X while it's still computing or waiting for input or doing whatever, it does that because it takes forever
