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.
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.
renaming the eggs.py to eggs.pyw will tell windows to use pythonw.exe
to start this python file (and will not open a console) You can then
create a shortcut in the normal way
