In Windows, the executable file statically determines whether a console 
is created.  There are two executables shipped with Python,  python.exe 
and pythonw.exe.  You want to use the latter.

The real question is how to cause Windows to run that rather than 
python.exe.  Answer depends on how your use is launching his program.

If he's starting from a shortcut, change the name of the executable on 
the shortcut.  If he's starting by double-clicking on the script name, 
change the extension of the script from .py to .pyw

You mention that you're shipping only .pyc files.  If that's the case, 
add one more, a .pyw that imports your main script.  Of course, that may 
mean changing that script a little so it works as a module.
