Other ways to accomplish this are:

(1) The standard Tkinter - way:
add the statement

turtle.Tkinter.mainloop()

as last line of you script.
Closing the turtle-Window then terminates the program

(2) If the script doesn't expect to handle events (mouse clicks etc...)
you may add a simple

raw_input()

as last statement of your script. Hitting Enter at the MSDOS-shell window
(or xterm?) will terminate your program.
