This is expected behavior on Windows. Unless your program has a graphical user interface that you've created, the proper way to run an *interactive* python program is from the command prompt. Alternatively you can run it from within IDLE or some other Python IDE like PyCharm. So you're not doing anything wrong. Just don't run them by double clicking; run them from a command prompt instead. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
