Executable python program - disable cmd line?

Question

I have a simple GUI python 2.7 app developed with wxpython. I don't want it to show the cmd line. I renamed the file to *.pyw and when I open it as a python script it works ok (no cmd line). But when I compile it via py2exe, the executable file shows the cmd line anyways. Is there any way to get around this?

You probably want to use window instead of console in your setup script.

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(window=['hello.py'])

it should be: setup(windows=['hello.py']) (not 'window') – Tomek Urbańczyk Oct 08 '13 at 16:22
