This seems simple enough. (This is an example of a non-terminating loop,
by the way, so it is not suppose to work correctly.)
My problem is that when I enter this into IDLE, and hot enter a few times.

That's because, as you just said, its a non-terminating loop.
The prompt only returns when the loop ends, which is currently never.
You will need to interrupt the loop (using Ctrl-C?) and fix the bug.
