Not sure what you mean by "reference counted", but yes, if you start python.exe as a child of some shell such as cmd.exe, then the terminal that cmd.exe is running in will remain. That is the most normal way to do things. Of course, most of us use a shell that's a tad more powerful than cmd.exe, but the effect is the same regardless.
