First of all: did you try to run the script using PythonWin and did you
run it in a command window? What happened? What error messages did you
get, if any?

The script itself doesn't contain any errors. And in my IDLE it behaves
perfectly well.

And please, if you answer, keep the text you are answering. This is no web
forum where you can see several postings at once.
