PyCharm automatically closes pop-up windows, can I stop this?

Question

I am rather new to using PyCharm by JetBrains, but I am just messing around with tkinter and turtle-graphics and whenever I run some code for example:

t = turtle.Pen()
t.forward(50)

PyCharm will successfully create a turtle window and draw the line, however, the window opened just closes instantly. The same goes if I use tkinter.

Is there anyway to stop PyCharm doing this, and keep the window open?

in `turtle` similar to `tkinter` you should run `mainloop()` in last line. — furas, Jul 21 '19 at 14:31

In turtle which is built on top of tkinter you should run mainloop() in last line like in tkinter

Turtle:

import turtle

t = turtle.Pen()
t.forward(50)

turtle.mainloop()

Tkinter:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

b = tk.Button(root, text='Close', command=root.destroy)
b.pack()

root.mainloop()

It gets key/mouse events from system and send to widgets, check pressed buttons, etc. - so it keeps window open till you press closing button.
