Start a DOS box on its own then at the DOS prompt CD into 
your python project directory and invoke python by typing:

C:\MyprojectDir> python spam.py

Where:
MyProjectDir is where you keep your python files and
spam.py is your program file

Alternatively:
Make sure your PYTHONPATH environment variable is 
set up (in autoexec.bat) to include any directories 
with your modules in. Then you can type from any 
Dos prompt:

C:\> python C:\MyProjectDir\spam.py

Then python will finish executing and the results will 
be displayed in the DOS box. You might want to make 
the DOS box 50 lines long to ensure you capture as 
much as possible...
