How to close the DOS Shell when starting a python script

[m.errami]

Hello all.
I know the question will seem stupid but googling it gives me only
stuff I don't care about.
So the question is the following:
When I start a python script containing a wxApp under windows XP, I
double click , my program opens and a background DOS shell also opens.
Is there any way to prevent the DOS from opening?
What is weird is that when I create a freezed version (an executable),
then the DOS shell doens't open anymore.
Any clues?
Thanks for your help

Rename the .py file with extension .pyw.

To elaborate: This works because, by default, .py files are associated
with python.exe and .pyw files are associated with pythonw.exe, the
latter not opening a console window.
You can actually run a .py file with pythonw.exe without opening a console.
