Not sure this is going to help ...

$ /usr/bin/python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 30 2007, 08:07:01)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>>

Running the example on the above Python system I just see the command 
prompt return with no program output whatsoever:

sholden@bigboy ~/Projects/Python
$ /usr/bin/python test03.py

sholden@bigboy ~/Projects/Python
$

Under a standard Windows 2.5.1 it created a window then appeared to 
print random times until I clicked the "Done" button:
