Similar trouble for me just now, in my first week with python. But I dimly remembered a similar problem with a simple early test script and thought the trouble then was # comments. So I tried that with my Tkinter infused .py script. It ran fine in IDLE as you say, then only flashed when clicked in windows. But there were a couple # commented lines at the top of file.

I took them all out and it now runs no sweat directly in windows. Have a look .. for #.

Sorry, can't seem to delete this post. Now the files work #comments included. Don't know what's up with that. ..
