If you expected anything else you don't understand how windows runs 
programs.

Do this:

try:
   # your program goes here
finally:
raw_input("Press any key")
# if you are running Python 3 replace raw_input with input

Adding the try-finally construct ensures that any exception in your code 
will be visible.
