[Tutor] Press Enter to quit. Silently maybe.

[Shashwat Anand]

run this file (test.py) as:

def finish():
    print '\n', "bye", '\n'
    raw_input('Press Enter to quit: ')

finish()

$python -i test.py

A second approach could be:

def finish():
    import os, subprocess
    print '\n', "bye", '\n'
    raw_input('Press Enter to quit: ')
    subprocess.call('python')

finish()

$python test.py

bye

A word of caution, am not using IDLE and preferably you should avoid it too.
