Oh, I wish I knew...  The best I've come up with is either run the program
from a DOS window you've opened "manually", or put a line like

raw_input("Press enter...")

at the end of your program.  Both are bad, but I don't know a better way.

Rename the file with a .pyw extension.  .pyw's use pythonw.exe to launch,
which is the same as python.exe but without the DOS window.

HTH,
