How can I hide the console window in a PyQt app running on Windows?
I have just started to explore wxPython for dialogs, and one thing that I've noticed so far is that every time I start a script (via double click or F5 in IDLE) I get the command prompt window in background, and then wx dialog appears.
Is there any way to remove that command prompt and just get the dialog I've made in wx?
Solved problem : replace extension from py to pyw and it works without the console in behind.

My team and I implemented a game in Python using Pygame. Whenever the game is run, alongside the GUI there is an extra black window that opens alongside, a .exe window. Is there anyway to stop it from opening?
That is a command window, specifically one running python[Version Number].exe. To remove it simply change the scripts file extension to .pyw instead of .py, which changes the file type to the same thing [Python], but without the console window opening too.
So for example, script.py would become script.pyw

I am currently learning Python and I am working through a project in a book entitled Python Crash Course. The project involves developing a game called "Alien Invasion". In the process of running the game, it opens a 'window' area where the action occurs while keeping a command prompt shell open. At least to me, it seems tacky to have a command prompt shell open. I am thinking about developing some games and I want to have a professional look to them. Is there any way of automatically closing the command prompt shell close after a program compiled in Python has started?
If you are opening your program on IDLE, I believe it is not possible to not have the Shell window open as it is the main window for any sort of system output like errors. However, to make your game look more professional, you can use py2exe or py2app (Mac OS X). This will help you turn your program into an executable file that is also portable. Also, when you open your executable game window, there will be no Shell window opening.

I am currently working on making a program using tkinter that when pressing a button it opens the Python program, however I am having some problems with it. I have tried using os.system('filename.py'). That opens the file, but then crashes the GUI, making the user have to restart the GUI. I have also tried importing it as a module but that just does the same as when using os.system.
Can anyone possibly help me open a Python file in a completely new window/terminal?
The problem is filename.py will not be recognised by your os.
Instead of that use:
os.system('python filename.py')
This will successfully open your python file inside your GUI
Hope this helps

Hiding console window of Python GUI app with py2exe
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I compiled a Python GUI program using py2exe, and it works, but when I run it the command prompt appears in addition to my program window. I have read that I should change the python.exe file to the pythonw.exe file, but there isn't even a Python.exe file in the dist folder to begin with. Compiling a .pyw version of the file also does not fix this. How would I prevent this from happening?

You didn't post any code (which you should do), but I suspect you're using "console" instead of "windows" in setup.py.

I am programming under Python2.6 + PyQT + Eric4 environment.
All the GUI and Program parts are done, but here is the problem.
When I run my program, two windows pop up.
One is the window (or frame) I want, the other is like a python interpretor window having a all black undergroud color. And I really don't want this to show.
What can I do to get rid of it?
Please help me out of this.
I suppose you are using Windows, the only operating system I know to open a prompt when you double click a script. There are two solutions AFAIK: execute the file with the pythonw.exe executable, as suggested by #Adrien. If you save the file with the .pyw extension, Windows automatically uses pythonw.exe for executing the script when you double click
on windows, you can get rid of the console window by using pythonw.exe to run your script (instead of the standard python.exe)
(i don't know if there is a similar difference on other operating systems)
On Windows, the program window only pops up if you save your python file with the extension .py instead of .pyw.
