That's why I just suggested a *third* exe. It wouldn't be
used as the command line interpreter -- it would only get
launched by double-clicking a .py file in the gui.

The current behaviour of having the gui launch the normal
command line interpreter for .py files is almost useless,
because the window disappears before you can see the output.
