How can I hide the console window in a PyQt app running on Windows?

Question

Surely this is possible? I have been hunting through PyQt tutorials and documentation but cannot find the answer to it. Probably I just need to phrase my search query differently.

[Edit]

Thanks PEZ for the answer - more details including use of the .pyw extension in Python Programming on Win32 chapter 20

Answer 1

I think you should be able to run your app with pythonw.exe.

Answer 2

An easy way to do this is to give your script a .pyw extension instead of the usual .py.

This has the same effect as PEZ's answer (runs the script using pythonw.exe).
