  • 0

I have a Python program uses Qt (PyQt4 in fact) and when I launch it from its main.py, I get a console window and the GUI window (on Windows, of course).

Then I compile my program with py2exe and main.exe is successfully created. However, if I run main.exe (this is what users of program will do) console window of Python still appears and all my debug text is stdout-ed to that window.

I want to hide cmd line window when my application is running and I want just my GUI to be visible to the user when executed from .exe file.

Is that possible?

    Yep, it is possible.

    If I use 

    setup(console=['__main__.py'], options={"py2exe":{"includes":["sip"]}})

    It creates a console app, however if I use

    setup(windows=['__main__.py'], options={"py2exe":{"includes":["sip"]}})

    it does not show console on .exe file. But output is dumped on main.exe.log file in the .exe folder. Be careful.
