To hide the Windows console when using a Python script with Tkinter, you need to use PyInstaller to create a standalone executable. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Install PyInstaller by running the following command in the terminal:
1
pip install pyinstaller


  1. Create a Python script using Tkinter. Here is an example script to create a simple window:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
label = tk.Label(root, text="Hello, Tkinter!")
label.pack()

root.mainloop()


  1. Save the script to a Python file, such as my_script.py.
  2. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where your script is saved.
  3. Run PyInstaller to create the standalone executable with the following command:
1
pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole my_script.py


  1. PyInstaller will generate a dist folder in the directory with your executable file. You can run the executable without showing the Windows console.


By following these steps, the Windows console will be hidden when you run the executable created by PyInstaller.
