Why Do My Python Scripts Pause in Terminal?

I have some Python scripts which I am running in Windows using Command Prompt by entering the following command: python -m scriptname.

I have noticed that quite often, these scripts randomly pause and stop running. I can resume them by typing any key in Command Prompt, but I have no idea why this is happening or how to prevent it all together. Has anybody encountered a similar problem, and does anybody have any suggestions they may be able to offer?

Right click on the cmd window, and click on properties. Check if you have QuickEdit Mode on. If you do, uncheck that box.

This is a known issue for command prompt that if you click on the window, it will enter select mode, which will pause the program.
