Python, instant closing in a simple code

Question

I have written these lines in python and ran it. But the result appears only for a second then it closes itself. What can i do to prevent it from closing?

   print("Enter your name:")
   x = input()
   print("Hello, " + x)

There are several ways to do this.

You can run your code in console/command line/idle so that the parent process does not quit.

Or more programmatically, you can put input() at the end.

print("Enter your name:")
x = input()
print("Hello, " + x)
input() # better with a friendly note

If I recall correctly, input has platform dependent behavior handling signals/interrupts, but generally you can type <enter>, <Ctrl+C>, or <EOF> to end the program.
