Pause in Python

Question

I am running command-line Python scripts from the Windows taskbar by having a shortcut pointing to the Python interpreter with the actual script as a parameter.

Answer 1

The best option: os.system('pause') <-- this will actually display a message saying 'press any key to continue' whereas adding just raw_input('') will print no message, just the cursor will be available.

not related to answer:

os.system("some cmd command") is a really great command as the command can execute any batch file/cmd commands.
