Because it was opened only by starting the program, and so it closes 
when the program ends. Wouldn't the same thing happen on Linux, if a 
console application were started from the file manager?

I would always start a console application from an open command prompt, 
in case of exceptions. And if my Python GUI application doesn't appear 
on the screen I do the same, to see the traceback.
