How to hide the prompt windows when running a simple tkinter gui program?

[sorno]

In windows, if I make a very simple tkinter program like:

from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
label = Label(root,text ="hello")
label.pack()
root.mainloop()


There will be a window showing the "hello" label, and another windows that looks like a dos prompt behind it. Is it possible to get rid of this prompt like window?

I believe saving it with the .pyw extension should fix that.

Thanks very much, it works. I search further with this pyw and found that it works because it will use pythonw to run the program instead of python.
