1. Do you really want the CMD prompt to show up? If not, rename your
file from .py to .pyw and it will be hidden. You'll miss all of the
STD* streams though.
2. Find the window and move it to the right place. Here is a script I
use to launch PuTTY (which has the unfortunate problem of 'hiding' its
title bar below my 'Start' bar which I keep at the top of my screen).
It's convient for me to launch PuTTY from this script but I don't see
any reason why you couldn't add this code to your main function and
find the errand CMD prompt and move it.
(For this you need the win32 extension installed)
------------------------------------------------
import win32gui,os,sys,time
command = r"start putty -load %s"
def moveWindow(hwnd, ignored):
x = win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd)
if x.find('PuTTY') >= 0:
left,top,right,bottom = win32gui.GetWindowRect(hwnd)
if top < 30:
width = right - left
height = bottom - top
win32gui.MoveWindow(hwnd,left,top+30,width,height, 1)
try:
p1 = sys.argv[1]
except IndexError:
#print "you must provide a valid machine name"
p1 = "opus"
os.system(command % (p1,))
time.sleep(1.0)
win32gui.EnumWindows(moveWindow, None)
------------------------------------------------
HTH..
