The window you see is the DOS/CMD/Command prompt window, where all stdout and
stderr is directed to by default. There are several ways to redirect stdout and
stderr, but I found the simplest solution here is to open the script in IDLE,
and run it from there. All output is then directed to the Python Shell window.

To open it in IDLE you could right-click the script in explorer, and select
Edit. Or run IDLE and File Open, etc.

Note I did have problems running wxPython scripts from Pythonwin, seems to be
some incompatibilities (Python 2.2.1, win98), whereas IDLE worked ok.
