Can I run an PySide2 application as a Windows Background Process

Question

I want that the app accept an input from the user and then go into the background as a Windows Background Process. So, is that even possible? If yes then how?

I am using Python 3.6.8 and the PySide2 gui framework

Answer 1

You can run an external background process with pythonw.exe . You will have to run it by using subprocess or via Qprocess in pyside.

import subprocess
subprocess.run(["pythonw.exe", "path/to/your/program"])

This will run your program in the background with no visible process or way to interact with it. You can only terminate it with a system monitor
