You can give your script a .pyw instead of a .py extension, which will
result in the script being launched with pythonw.exe intead of
python.exe. This way, you have a normal Windows GUI app, without any
console window. OTOH it's harder to track exceptions, but AFAIK
wxPython (and thus maybe PythonCard, too) has a way to show exceptions
in a GUI window.
