Most likely it is working but faster than you can see.
Python is a program interpreter so if you simply execute
a .py file, the interpreter will execute it and terminate.
Any output will be displayed in a terminal window which
will close when the interpreter finishes.

The way round that is to launch the programs from inside
an existing command shell. assuming you are on Windows hit
Windows-R and type cmd to get a Windows> prompt. Then type

C:\WINDOWS> py \path\to\python\file.py

And you should see the program output.
