Main question is whether your script is exectued in a console window
(like cmd.exe) or from within a graphical library without console.


you yould try to start cmd.exe and call your python script directly from
there.

if this doesn't work, then try just a simple test script containing
nothing else than the code to wait for a keypress.

Simple test script (working fine for me)
import msvcrt
print "before"
msvcrt.getch()
print "after"
