Hi,
I'm facing similar kind of problems although a bit different.
In my case, the subprocess opens a new window on its own and the
pyinstaller -noconsole option does not seem to apply to that window.
In addition to the new window that I want, I get an additional empty
terminal window. The solution as suggested by Bryan does not work
since I actually want the window to stay open, but I don't want the
console.
Any ideas on how to handle that case so that the -noconsole also
applies to any windows opened by subprocesses?
Windows 7
Python 2.6.2
PyInstaller 2.1
Thankful for any help.
BR,
Tomas Melin
