pygame doesn't read events in scripts

[snowlizard31]

I have two files that use pygame's event handling but if I using it in both cause's one of the scripts events not to be read, so I tried passing event as an parameter in one but that still doesn't work.
script 1 the main script


for event in pygame.event.get():
text = test.print_text(screen,35,event,(250,410))
if event == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

script 2


for i in r:
if len(message) >= text_length:
pass
elif event.type == KEYDOWN:
if event.key == ord(r[i]):
message += i

# for all other non char input
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
if event.key == K_BACKSPACE:
message = message[:-1]
elif len(message) >= text_length:
pass
elif event.key == K_SPACE:
message += ' '
elif event.key == K_SEMICOLON:
message += ';'
elif event.key == K_BACKQUOTE:
message += '`'
elif event.key == K_LEFTBRACKET:
message += '['
elif event.key == K_RIGHTBRACKET:
message += ']'
elif event.key == K_COMMA:
message += ','
elif event.key == K_PERIOD:
message += '.'
elif event.key == K_SLASH:
message += '/'
elif event.key == K_MINUS:
message += '-'
elif event.key == K_EQUALS:
message += '='
elif event.key == K_BACKSLASH:
message += '\\'
elif event.key == K_QUOTE:
message += "'"
elif event.key == K_ESCAPE:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
elif event.key == K_RETURN:
return message
