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.

Yes, I know I'm posting to an old thread but I'd like to add my vote for using input() (3.x and up).

Added to the end of my .py script, it indeed prevents the console window from opening and immediately closing.

As to the "problem" of what key to press to close it, I (and 1,000's of others, I'm sure) simply use input("Press Enter to close").

Thanks for letting me add my 2 cents worth :)
