Hello,

Excuse me for my stupid question, but I'm an absolute beginner in programming.
I just would like to know what should I do in such case: when I run my program 
by clicking on the file itself, rather than from IDLE, the cmd window 
disappears just immediately after the output printing, so that I can't even see 
it. The solution must be very simple, but I can't find it in tutorials...

This is mainly because in later versions of Windows (XP onward, I believe) they 
changed a setting so that the command window would close after a program has 
executed. There are probably some more complicated settings to fix it on a 
global basis, but you'll find that most people add this line to the end of 
their programs:

raw_input("Press <Enter> to continue") # Use input() with Python 3.x

HTH,
Wayne

You can also run from command line. Start->run-> type "cmd" ->hit enter -> 
navigate to directory "cd c:\directory\with\python\filename.py"  (substitute 
the path you need) -> run script "python filename.py"
