I wrote an application with pyqt5 and packaged it using python setup.py sdist
to make it available on PyPi the app runs well on Linux distributions but there is a problem with windows when i run it ,it does open a console then the actual app shows up is there any way to fix it ?
setup.py
from distutils.core import setup from setuptools import setup setup( name="subtodl", packages = ['Scripts'], version="0.0.1", license='MIT', description = 'a handy tools to download subtitle ', author = 'mehdi', install_requires=[ "pyqt5; platform_system=='Windows'", "beautifulsoup4", "lxml", "PyQt5==5.11.3 ;platform_system=='Linux'", "requests", "wget", ], classifiers=[ "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6", ], entry_points={ 'console_scripts': [ 'subtodl= Scripts.subtodlmain:main', ], }, )

Answer
Instead of 'console_scripts'
, use 'gui_scripts'
.
Two groups of entry points have special significance in packaging: console_scripts and gui_scripts.

The difference between console_scripts and gui_scripts only affects Windows systems. console_scripts are wrapped in a console executable, so they are attached to a console and can use sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr for input and output. gui_scripts are wrapped in a GUI executable, so they can be started without a console, but cannot use standard streams unless application code redirects them. Other platforms do not have the same distinction.
