build cmd into Tkinter window

Question

Hi i was wondering if you could have the comand prompt box pop into the Tkinter window when you start the program? Some thing like:

from Tkinter import *
admin = Tk()
cmd = Cmd(admin)
cmd.pack()
admin.mainloop()

I'm on windows

http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/CmdTkHere is what you want, this is not just opening a cmd window. its embedding cmd.exe into a Tkinter.Frame. And a note here if you rename the python script to ".pyw" extension, the console will be hidden. Except for in a virtual environment's.
