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.

system-tray python

Those are two questions, actually:

  1. Adding a tray icon can be done with Win32 API. Example: SysTrayIcon.py
  2. Hiding the cmd.exe window is as easy as using pythonw.exe instead of python.exe to run your scripts.
