title: Keep Windows Console open after a Python Error
body: <p>File associations on my machine (winxp home) are such that a python script is directly opened with the python interpreter. If I double click on a python script a console window runs and every thing is fine - as long as there is no syntax error in the script.</p>
  
  <p>In that case the console window opens up for a moment but it is closed immediately. Too fast to read the error message.</p>
  
  <p>Of course their would be the possibility to manually open a console window and to execute the script by typing <code>python myscript.py</code> but I am sure that there is a more convenient (i.e. "double click based") solution.</p>
