I like python.
I'm not a coder.. I'm just a person that trys to do things with languages he likes. Sometimes I'm successful, mostly not. I do know that before I bother a list with a silly question I should do my best to research for an answer myself. ala RTFM. That said my searches haven't found me what I am looking.. lack of a decent keyword sequence.. anywho.. Could someone please tell me what I need to put into a python script to not have a window come up however briefly? Like when I double click on the script, it will do it's job but won't open a command window then close it.. I hope that explains what I'm looking for. If I see the line I can figure out by syntax where it should go. I'm really good at learning the gist of languages by syntax. Thank you all for your time Peace -- Fidel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi! Sorry, I don't understand well english. But, try to rename your script, from .py to .pyw (sample : titi.py == titi.pyw). -- @-salutations Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: I like python.
Renaming the file doesn't work. I am on windows... There is a specific line of code that tells python not to bother even opening a window. of any sort for any amount of time. I just don't know what it is and haven't been able to find any reference to it Thanks for the help though. assuming Windows, and assuming that you have a standard Python install for Windows: use pyw instead of py as the script's extension.

Fidel wrote: Renaming the file doesn't work. I am on windows... Are you sure? Double-clicking on a *.pyw script file really brings up a window? Is it a GUI window or a console window? I ask because if it's a console window and you're really clicking on a .pyw file then it really should run without opening the console window. If not then there might be some problem with your python installation. But it's much more likely that you, say, copied the script and renamed the copy but then accidentally clicked on the old script.

Thank you all for your time Are you running any external commands by using os.system() or os.exec()? If you are running a program that is a console program (i.e. copy, move, del, etc...) then it will open up a command window to run it. If that is the case, then you can try using the os.popen() utility instead. -- Jerry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Seriously, renaming the script to .pyw should work from a standard python install. If it doesn't then the file handler for that extension must have got messed up somewhere along the way.

Re: I like python.
Although I just noticed that if the extension is .py then it will still open a command window. It does indeed need to have a .pyw extension for this to work. So all of you were correct. it needs to use popen and have .pyw as the extension in order for python not to open a command window. Thank you all for you help and support.

Re: I like python.
Thank you Jerry. That was exactly what I was looking for. The script in fact does call an external program and give it a command from a randomized list. Specifically it is a random wallpaper setter using the windows version of bsetroot. script scans a directory, creates a list of viable walls and tells bsetroot to set the wallpaper. Using popen instead of system did the trick handily. I thank you verily.
