[Python.NET] Issues with running a phyton script from c#

I am able to run a phyton script from C# using a code similar to:

p = new Process()
p.StartInfo.Filename = path/to/script
p.StartInfo.Arguments = string_with_arguments
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true
p.Start()

I am not interested in the script outcomes since the script just
starts a Tk app with its own Gui.

The problem/annoyance I am having is when the process starts, it does
so with a command window that points to python instalation location
(so something like C:\Python25\python.exe) and just hangs there until
I quit the Tk gui. Is there a way to get rid of this command window?
If I close the command window manually, the Tk app closes as well.

Thank you for your help,

For running stand-alone python scripts you can rename your .py file to
.pyw, which disables the console window when you run it. Does that
achieve the same result from your C# code?

Launching the application using pythonw.exe instead of python should resolve this.

Thank you!Either renaming the script to a .pyw or launching the app with
pythonw.exe got rid of the problem. So, the block of code exactly the same
with a minor change as:

[option 1]
p = new Process()
p.StartInfo.Filename = path/to/script //Here use a .pyw instead of a .py
file
p.StartInfo.Arguments = string_with_arguments
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true
p.Start()

[option 2]
p = new Process()
p.StartInfo.Filename = path/to/pythonw.exe
p.StartInfo.Arguments = path/to/script + any_string_args //(delimited by
spaces as in the command line)
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true
p.Start()

Thanks again,
