I find myself having to write some code on Windows :-(. To alleviate the pain, at least I get to use Python for some of it.
I'm trying to write a simple application, say "eggs.py". It pops a tkinter gui and lets the user do some stuff. The system has Python installed so I don't care about wrapping it in a .exe file or anything like that. But I'd like to make a desktop icon for eggs.py and let the user double-click it and run the app without also getting a DOS box on the screen.
Rename the file "eggs.py" to "eggs.pyw" and create a shortcut to that file. The file will be opened using pythonw.exe instead of python.exe.

Is there a simple way to do that? I didn't see anything in the Python docs about it. I suspect that this is really a dumb Windows question, but I avoid Windows whenever I can, so most anything I can ask about it is probably dumb.
Thanks much.
