When running a python script from command line, PythonWin also runs. How can I avoid this?

Question

I'm trying to run a script from the command line (command prompt). I type:

python.exe full_script_path.py parameters

And for some reason, PythonWin opens up. I have to close it for execution to finish. Unfortunately, this keeps me from being able to do multiple executions in a batch file.

What can I do to avoid PythonWin from opening?

Yes, it still opened PythonWin. I also tried renaming to .pyw (which uses pythonw.exe) and got the same result. — GSL

It turns out I had this Python-Win32 module installed. I removed that, then reset my file associations to use pythonw.exe, and it worked again. Thanks for your reply! — GSL

I think you should launch pythonw.exe instead of plain python.exe, but I am not on a windows box right now, so I cannot test it.
