IDLE window disappears - more info

[Olivier Dagenais]

In order to avoid having a window flash like that, you will have to use a
DOS prompt and invoke your scripts from the command line like so:

C:\Your\Dir\Here>python hello.py

...then, if there is something totally wrong that prevents programs from
running, you'll know about it.
