That'll work (it waits for input from the user, and, as soon as it
receives it shuts down the window).

Another way to do it is instead of doubleclicking on the script,
open a command prompt window (Start>Run>cmd OR
Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt) then type
'python test.py' at the prompt.  Now the window stays open
until you specifically close it and you can rerun the script many times.

HTH,
