| Python version 2.3. I'm using pythonw (and py2exe) to build a windows application. When new processes are launched, using os.system() or os.spawn a DOS windows flashes for a moment and then vanishes. It makes the application look funny. When the same application is run via python (and not pythonw) this doesn't happen. New processes don't create a flashing DOS window. It would be nice if pythonw.exe could function similar to python.exe, just without the constant DOS window in the background. The same behavior occures when running the program via pythonw.exe <fname.py> or when compiling with py2exe -w. Amir | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The "flashing window" is created by the Microsoft C library, in its system() and spawn() implementations. If you don't want that window, you need to use CreateProcess instead. | ||
