GUI2Exe - Building an Exe from pythonw
Mike Driscoll
I need to create a really simple application using pythonw.exe with a
pyw file. I can't see a way to do this with GUI2Exe. Is that not
possible?

Basically, I want to create an exe that doesn't display a console
window. I tried telling it to use "window" instead of "console", but
that didn't work.

In which sense "it didn't work"? Does GUI2Exe create the executable or
are you getting some tracebacks somewhere? As far as I know, using
"windows" in py2exe should always work...

Oops...Sorry. I usually explain better. Anyway, the dialog created to
choose files with is locked on only *.py, so I couldn't select the pyw
version.
Thus, there are no errors per se since I couldn't even compile against
that file.

What I meant is: just use the *.py file and select "windows" as
executable kind. This tells py2exe to use pythonw to create an
executable so there should be no extra dos window for your app.
