How do i stop the command prompt window from opening when i run my python program?

Question

I don't want the cmd window opening in the background when my python app is opened. Why does this happen and how can i make it so when my program is opened only the GUI is showing not the command prompt as well.

Edit - I used tkinter for my GUI and i have made it into a .exe i converted it to .exe via py2exe.

Note that the concept of a "dos window" does not exist any more. — Lasse V. Karlsen, Jul 04 '14 at 22:22
What GUI (tkinter, wxPython, glade, ...)? How are you running the app? On what OS? — jonrsharpe, Jul 04 '14 at 22:22

You probably set the application type to console in py2exe setup:

setup(console=...

while you need to make it windows:

setup(windows=...
