[New-bugs-announce] [issue38359] pyw.exe opens console window in Windows 10

[Andrew Ushakov]

New submission from Andrew Ushakov <andrew.ushakov at gmail.com>:

pyw.exe (Python Launcher for Windows Version 3.8.121.1013) opens a console window at startup. To reproduce, run command below from the console:

D:>pyw -c "import time; time.sleep(10)"

By the way command:

D:>pythomw -c "import time; time.sleep(10)"

works as expected, silently.
