wxpython and py2exe

[sliver_752]

Hi

i am making a simle gui using wxpython and here is the script

import wx

class bide(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, -1, "just a test", pos=(0, 0), size=wx.DisplaySize())
        panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
        statusBar = self.CreateStatusBar()
        toolbar = self.CreateToolBar()
        #toolbar.AddSimpleTool(wx.NewId(), images.getNewBitmap(),"New", "Long help for 'New'")
        toolbar.Realize()
        menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
        menu1 = wx.Menu()
        menu1.Append(1, "&New Project","")
        menu1.Append(2, "&Open Project", "")
        menu1.Append(3, "Exit", "")
        menuBar.Append(menu1, "&File")
        menu2 = wx.Menu()
        menu2.Append(11, "&Copy", "Copy in status bar")
        menu2.Append(22, "C&ut", "")
        menu2.Append(33, "Paste", "")
        menu2.AppendSeparator()
        menu2.Append(wx.NewId(), "&Options...", "Display Options")
        menuBar.Append(menu2, "&Edit")
        self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU,self.onQuit,id=3)
        
    def onQuit(self,event):
        self.Close()
        
if __name__== '__main__':
    app=wx.PySimpleApp()
    frame=bide()
    frame.Show(True)
    app.MainLoop()

i am converting this to an exe using this code

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=['bide.py'])

Now when i am running it from the generated exe... the console window also pops up. i want the console window to be running in the background. any suggestions?

thanks in advance

My advice, use the little utility at:

Since this is GUI program you need to change 'console' to 'window' and give your filename .pyw extension.
