You only need to run from another console program to keep the window open after Python exits. You can even do that in other ways, but doing that is more complicated than it is useful. BTW, each console window is hosted by an instance of conhost.exe. There's nothing special about cmd.exe with respect to the console. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
