pythonw.exe processes not quitting after running script

Question

Every time I restart the shell or run a script and instance of pythonw.exe*32 is created. When I close out of IDLE these processes don't go away in the task manager. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you tried using python.exe instead of pythonw.exe?

Im pretty sure this is the intended default behavior for the window python interperter (pythonw.exe).

If its a .pyw file, just right click "Open With..." and use python.exe
