Main question is whether your script is exectued in a console window (like cmd.exe) or from within a graphical library without console. you yould try to start cmd.exe and call your python script directly from there. if this doesn't work, then try just a simple test script containing nothing else than the code to wait for a keypress. Simple test script (working fine for me) import msvcrt print "before" msvcrt.getch() print "after" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
