Re: working with Python scripts

[Werner Arnhold]

Hi Martin,

a python execution window disappears when the script is finished. So
you simply have to tell the interpreter that it is not finished. Add a
"input()" as the last line in the script. So the interperter has to
wait for some input, a <Return> e.g. before regarding the script as
finished.
