The console window is a terminal, not a shell. If an application is flagged as a console app, as is "python.exe", and the process doesn't inherit a console, the initialization code in kernelbase.dll allocates a new console session. This could be implemented by the classic conhost.exe host, or, in Windows 11, by an openconsole.exe session that's associated with a tab in Windows Terminal. If it's the latter, Terminal can be configured to keep a tab open after the console session has ended. The tab will display the exit status of the process that allocated the console session. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
