How can I make my GUI program(tkinter) work on computers with no python installed such that no console window appears?

Question

Here's what I have done so far: -I made a desktop search program/GUI using python and tkinter.

-Then I used py2exe to convert it to an exe.

-Now the software perfectly works on a machine(windows) without python installed, but the problem is that a creepy black window just appears along with the GUI when the .exe is opened.

Is there any way to make it look less creepy to an end user?

I think that this question was answered [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/764631/how-to-hide-console-window-in-python). Hope this helps — Craig Douglass, Jul 23 '16 at 12:53
I'm a bit confused here. If I rename it with .pyw extension, will py2exe freeze it using pythonw.exe or something? And if the end user doesn't have python installed(thus no pythonw.exe), will it then make a difference? — Yugal, Jul 23 '16 at 13:32
I am going to check it, but I just asked for curiosity's sake.. :) — Yugal, Jul 23 '16 at 13:33

Change the file extension from .py to .pyw (You must have Python installed for this to work.)
