Interacting with program after execution

Question:

In PyCharm, after I run a script it automatically kills it:

C:UsersSean.virtualenvsStanleyScriptspython.exe C:/Users/Sean/PycharmProjects/Stanley/Stanley.py

Process finished with exit code 0

How can I interact with the script after it starts? For lack of a better way to phrase it, how can I get the

>>>

prompt after the script runs once through?

UPDATE
Starting with version 4.0 there’s an option Show command line afterwards (renamed in later versions to Run with Python console) when editing run/debug configuration in Run|Edit Configurations….

From output of python --help:

-i : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x

To set interpreter option in PyCharm go to Run|Edit Configuration
