[Tutor] How do I kill this program?

Works fine from the PyCrust shell
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycrust/):

Welcome To PyCrust 0.6.1 - The Flakiest Python Shell

Subject: [Tutor] How do I kill this program?

I am doing exercises in Lutz's Programming Python.

#config-button.py

from Tkinter import *
widget=Button(text='Spam', padx=10, pady=10)
widget.pack(padx=20, pady=20)
widget.config(cursor='gumby')
widget.config(bd=8, relief=RAISED)
widget.config(bg='dark green', fg='white')
widget.config(font=('helvetica', 20, 'underline italic'))
mainloop()

The program runs fine.  I use IDLE for my editor.  The problem is when I
finish I get the following message:

The program is still running.  Do you want to kill it?  I say yes, but the
program will not close and I am unable to close the IDLE environment
without doing a three fingered salute.

Help!!

TIA
