Newbie question Python on Windows ME

[Gillou]

The code executes then exits so fast you can't see the console output.
Either launch a console, cd to your script directory and:
c:\Ptyhon21\python myscript.py

Alternate solution: end your script with this line :
dummy = raw_input('done!')

Will wait you hit return
