it's not clear from your question: Are you launching non-Python programs from a python one, using Popen? If so, I can't help. It's the launchee that determines if a console is created, as best as I know. However, if you're trying to launch a python program without its getting a console, then read on. No need for a multiplatform solution, since the problem is a Windows one. Windows will create a console for a new process unless the parent console is still available (eg. you run it from command line) or unless the executable is marked with the "no console" flag. (I don't recall what that's actually called, I haven't used Windows in a long time). Anyway, in the Windows version, there are two executables python.exe and pythonw.exe. You want the latter one, either by explicitly naming it in your launcher (batch file, script, whatever), or by using the .pyw extension, which is normally associated with the pythonw.exe program. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
