there a way? I'm using Windows so maybe that would provide a way (or not).

Is there a way from inside the script to say "run me with pythonw.exe and not

I just changed the file extension of the script file from .py to .pyw and it
uses pythonw.exe. I didn't read it anywhere, just intuited it and tried it.
Python has some very smart people working the language...
