What's happened is that the console has appeared, printed hello world,
and disappeared. This is a windows issue. If you want to be able to see
the output, you'll either have to run from a cmd prompt, or write a real
windows program.

You are, misfortunately, getting confused by the fact that at some point,
the documentation for Python ends and the documentation for Windows
begins.

Both of the above assume that "python.exe" is in your PATH somewhere.
