How to run in background?

[billie]

Hi all. I know that it's possible to automatically run a Python program
in background by giving it the "pyw" extension.
This is useful when I release a source ditribution of my program.
How could it be possible to do the same thing with an .exe file
compiled with py2exe extension? Do I have to write a batch script
separately?

Thanks in advance

I don't remember the details, but in your setup.py replace:
console=myscrip t.py to windows=myscrip t.py (or maybe
noconsole=myscr ipt.py? I dont remember, but look at the distutils docs)

I'm sorry. I tried with "windows=myscri pt.py" but it doesn't seem to
work.
I really don't know where find this information that's extremely
important for me.
I googled a lot but I didn't found a solution for my problem. :-\

it does work, so you've probably made some simple mistake. figuring
out what that is is a bit hard if you don't provide more information,
though.

can you perhaps post (the relevant portions of) your setup.py file ?
