What you are saying is that putting input() at the end of a program (or 
before any exit point) is insufficient for keeping a window alive if the 
program has a bug that causes an exception.  If that is considered 
possible, wrap the entire code in try-except and print or log the 
exception before using input to keep the window alive.  During 
development, it is easier to just run the program in a persistent 
environment, whether console or IDE such as IDLE.
