emacs swaps windows

T

In emacs' python-mode, a file can be executed by pressing Ctrl-C Ctrl-C.
If the code execution terminates with an Exception, emacs swaps the
source code window and the python output window.
Is there a way to stop that annoying behavior?

Personally I spit windows, open a shell, and run a script called "go"
(typically by doing alt-p to get previous commandline), which sets
paths and other variables before calling the program. So ^C^C never
is an issues.

However, a similar behavior with emacs's dired is solved with:

;;;----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Change C-x C-b buffer listing so that the current window is used
;;; if more than one window is displayed, otherwise splits the window.
;;;
(defun my-list-buffers (&rest args)
(interactive)
(let ((buff-window (get-buffer-window "*Buffer List*")))
(if (and (not buff-window) ; Not visible.
(not (one-window-p 'no-mini))) ; Multiple windows.
;; Attach "*Buffer List*" to current window.
(switch-to-buffer "*Buffer List*")))
(apply 'list-buffers args)
(pop-to-buffer "*Buffer List*") ; Go there.
(forward-line 3)) ; Skip usually uninteresting stuff.

(global-set-key "\C-x\C-b" 'my-list-buffers)

;;;----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Modified from original in buff-menu.el, this one buries the
;;; menu buffer after selecting a buffer.
;;;
(defun Buffer-menu-this-window ()
"Select this line's buffer in this window, and bury menu buffer."
(interactive)
(let ((menu-buffer (current-buffer)))
(switch-to-buffer (Buffer-menu-buffer t))
(bury-buffer menu-buffer)))
