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.
