Rename your file from .py to .pyw.<br>This will prevent the DOS window from appearing</blockquote><div><br>It's not the DOS window from the Python script I was talking about (in my mail I said "my python<br>script is launched with pythonw") but the one resulting from the

<br>script is launched with pythonw):<br>I use a sys.exit() to kill the script who launched the external<br>app.Thepython script is killed, the app is launched, but the resulting<br>DOS window<br>is still there (I have the same result if I use the DOS tskill or taskkill
<br>command to kill the script with his PID).<br><br>How could I hide/kill the resulting DOS window from an os.sytem /<br>os.popenwith Python ?<br><br>Also is there a way to launch an external app. but without os.system and
<br>os.popen to wait there but immediately continue to the next python line (to<br>avoid this I'm using a thread for now).<br><br>As an example I'm using this so far.<br>If I use pythonw to launch the script, notepad is launched, the script is
<br>killed but the DOS window stay there.<br></blockquote></div><br>
