py2app console

[James Stroud]

Hello,

Does anyone know of the most straightforward way to get rid of the
intensely annoying "console" window that py2app feels so compelled to
create?

On a related but less important note, why would anyone want that stupid
window in the first place?

I should mention that this is the ridiculously pointless Tcl shell
created when deploying a TkAqua application with py2app. Surely there
has to be a better place to practice one's Tcl programming than from the
console window of a bundled application that would otherwise be fit for
end-users--except for the stupid Tcl console that no one will bother to
use but is just frickin' desktop clutter.

## This is not the stdout console of the shell terminal, etc. ##

I include this code in my apps:

if (sys.platform != "win32") and hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):
root.tk.call('c onsole', 'hide')

That hides the console in py2app applications.

Yes! Thank you! I just now have gotten a chance to try it. It works
beautifully and simply.

Again, many thanks for your help!
