Question
What's the simplest way to put a python script into the system tray?
My target platform is Windows. I don't want to see the 'cmd.exe' window.
Solution
Those are two questions, actually:
- Adding a tray icon can be done with Win32 API. Example: SysTrayIcon.py
- Hiding the
cmd.exe
window is as easy as usingpythonw.exe
instead ofpython.exe
to run your scripts.
