You are right
In fact, I used to open *.py programs with IDLE and then I run
programs from IDLE menu. With this way, mainloop( ) is not
needed.
I tried to double click on a *.py to run a program. Without
mainloop( ), the console appears a split seconds, then
deseapears, and that's all. With mainloop( ) it works.

OK
tkinter.simpledialog.askstring is exactly what I need
