I know under mac/*nix it's possible to fork the proccess to the background and exit the parent process. I have used this on a couple of my projects, but right now I am working on a project that will be required to run in the background, I have considered using the .pyw extension on my files, but there will be parts of the program that will be required to show the console. So if anyone has an ideas...
