Hiding console window of Python GUI app with py2exe

I have a Python program uses Qt (PyQt4 in fact) and when I launch it from its main.py, I get a console window and the GUI window (on Windows, of course).

Then I compile my program with py2exe and main.exe is successfully created. However, if I run main.exe (this is what users of program will do) console window of Python still appears and all my debug text is stdout-ed to that window.

I want to hide cmd line window when my application is running and I want just my GUI to be visible to the user when executed from .exe file.

Is that possible?

The easiest way I found was to add -c when using the console to create the .exe.
If you type cmd into the file explorer, then type the following: python setup.py py2exe -c

My setup file was set up as shown below:

import distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(windows=['myprogram.py'])
