    Is your 'c:\\someWorkspace' actually an Esri GRID workspace and not just a folder? I assume you've changed the path but that could be a potential cause, there are some very stringent rules to ArcINFO workspaces which you may be contravening inadvertently. Try changing "idwClip" to "idwClip.tif" and see if that helps. In my opinion the shell window of IDLE has its own set of issues, you could try copy/pasting your code into an ArcCatalog python window and see if that helps. I use PyWin32 IDE shell which I've found isn't as buggy as IDLE. Commented Oct 22, 2019 at 3:37

    Are you saying that you are running your script from IDLE's Python Script window, and that stays open while IDLE's Python Shell window also stays open but restarts the script without you intervening? Commented Oct 22, 2019 at 4:20
  • @Michael Stimson Thanks, that probably makes the most sense. I tried your suggestion with the "idwClip.tif", and it does the same thing. I might have to try the PythonWin option. Commented Oct 22, 2019 at 15:07
  • @PolyGeo when I save the script and press "F5" to run it, the Python shell opens, and after about a minute, I get the "RESTART: Shell" option. Meaning that it has terminated/crashed and restarted. I hope that answers your question. Commented Oct 22, 2019 at 15:08
