Run python script without terminating at the end

Question

Is there a command line switch to carry out the script specified without terminating the process at the end?

Windows' cmd.exe for example has the /K switch.

As stated on python's manual:

-i switch

When a script is passed as first argument or the -c option is used, enter interactive mode after executing the script.

One option is to add code in your script to drop into an interactive prompt. See this answer.

import code
code.interact(local=locals())

No, it doesn't have such an options. See the Python commandline options documentation.

Depending on what you want to do, you can use a shortcut, or write a wrapper module and call the script you want to run through it with the -m option.
