It is some problem with the DOS box on Windows. I believe the standard input
and output get lost somehow. I just encountered it myself. Using the "python"
command is not required on other platforms--Linux, for example.
If anyone has a more elegant solution I would like to hear it. I hate
documenting "this way on Windows, another way everywhere else..."

The problem with stdin/stdout is on Windows 2000 (and maybe the earlier
NT?). But not on XP or AFAIK Vista.
It only occurs when a program is executed indirectly using the file
associations instead of directly via the command line.
File associations, are the Windows "let's do it a different way"
alternative for Unix she-bang lines (#!/path/to/python).
