Hide console window with Tkinter and cx_Freeze

Question

I am using cx_freeze to freeze a tkinter app. When I run the exe I get a wonderfully USELESS console window along with my tkinter GUI.

I would like to remove

Answer 1

I had the same problem today

What i was using to compile my python programs was py2exe and the fix was very simple modify the setup file as shown below. My interface is written with Tkinter

modify the "setup.py" py2exe script from:

Old Python Code:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['app.py'])

New Python Code:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(windows=['app.py'])

After i did this and reran my setup script the application loaded and did not show the console window. The only thing with this is if you have your application sending print commands to the console window you will not see theme. I hope this helps.
