Hi!

There are a few ways you could do this. One is to run it from the
command line. Another is to put this line at the end of the program:

input("Press enter to exit. ")

That should bring up the same screen (called a "console") and then
have it wait until you're done reading it.

A third way is to edit your code using Idle, and run it from there. I
haven't done that in a while, though, so the details might have
changed in the recent versions.

All the best!
