wxPython launches DOS shell

[Matt Rapoport]

Does anyone know how to avoid getting a DOS shell launched everytime
you run a wxPython script? The shell is used to run Python.exe but it
doesn't look very professional when a black window pops up along with
your GUI.

Thanks,

Matt

Re: wxPython launches DOS shell

Like the other posters say: use pythonw.exe.

The best way to autolaunch this is change the python file name from
".py" to ".pyw", so "script.py" becomes "script.pyw ". This means that
a console window (DOS box) isn't created. Of course, this doesn't work
on any other OS... ;)
