Caution newbie question: python window to stay open ?

[mkengel]

Caution: newbie question

I am using python 2.4.3-11 on Windows XP.
Problem: Python window closes immediately after executing a *.py file
(e.g. containing a "print..." command.
What do I have to do to keep it open to see the results ?

"Interactive window" stays open.

Thank you.
Michael

Caution: newbie question

If you're pretty sure it's a common newbie question, then begin by
going to the Google repository at:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python

Search in the box at upper right, on, say, keep cmd window open, or
keep dos window open.

Like so:

And you'll have answers going all the way back to antiquity.

Simple scripts that print to a console, or read from it, works best if
you run them from a standard Command Prompt window.

If you just click on a Python script in the explorer, Windows will
create a temporary command window, and remove it when the program is
done. This is standard Windows behaviour; to get around this in a
general way, you need to write GUI-oriented Python programs (using e.g.
Tkinter or wxPython), and run them using the "pythonw.exe" runtime.

For simpler scripts, you can also add

raw_input("Press return to close this window...")

to the end of the script.

Michael,

put this at the top of your code. After the window
closes read the testLog.out file. It may give you
a clue as to what is happening.

sys.stdout = open('testLog.out', 'w')

Use the /K option

the cmd.exe program has /K switch which holds the window open by returning to a command prompt.


Some text editors will have the ability to configure tools, so you can modify something like this:

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K X:\Python2.6.2\python.exe "%FILE%"

for your own system
