Recently, I tried making a new Key logger and I used this piece of code to run it as background process:
DETACHED_PROCESS = 0x00000008
pid = subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, "KeyLogger.py"],
creationflags=DETACHED_PROCESS).pid
My code works properly when I run this as a python file, but when I convert it to a .exe file using :
pyinstaller --onefile myfile.py
it doesn't work any more. But when I remove this piece of code :
DETACHED_PROCESS = 0x00000008
pid = subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, "KeyLogger.py"],
creationflags=DETACHED_PROCESS).pid
it works fine. Now, I'm looking for a new way to run my python code as a background process (as .exe) without showing any console windows. In addition, I'm sorry for writing mistakes in my question.
Normally, python files have the extension .py . If you want to run your program without opening a console window, change the extension to .pyw. To convert a .py file to a .exe file (with PyInstaller) which will not open the console, use one of the following commands (see here for more info):
pyinstaller -w yourfile.py
pyinstaller --windowed yourfile.py
pyinstaller --noconsole yourfile.py
