Caution newbie question: python window to stay open ?
Caution: newbie question I am using python 2.4.3-11 on Windows XP. Problem: Python window closes immediately after executing a *.py file (e.g. containing a "print..." command. What do I have to do to keep it open to see the results ? "Interactive window" stays open. Thank you. Michael -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Simple scripts that print to a console, or read from it, works best if
you run them from a standard Command Prompt window.
If you just click on a Python script in the explorer, Windows will
create a temporary command window, and remove it when the program is
done. This is standard Windows behaviour; to get around this in a
general way, you need to write GUI-oriented Python programs (using e.g.
Tkinter or wxPython), and run them using the "pythonw.exe" runtime.
For simpler scripts, you can also add
raw_input("Press return to close this window...")
to the end of the script.

Michael,
put this at the top of your code. After the window
closes read the testLog.out file. It may give you
a clue as to what is happening.
sys.stdout = open('testLog.out', 'w')
