[Tutor] No Console

[Lloyd Kvam]

If you use the extension .pyw or explicitly use pythonw, rather than python
to execute the script, no window is created.  The normal windows behavior
(at least in NT,2K,XP) in a command file, should be to kick off the program
and then immediately continue execution within the command file.  Effectively,
your python script is in the background.  To make it a Windows Service, is
a bit more work, but well documented in "Python Programming on Win32".
