just run the following command

pyinstaller -w your_file_name.pyw

Note: you need to install pyinstaller before running the above command.To install, run the following command

pip install pyinstaller

Because you use Python 3 it is not possible to use Py2exe (since that is for Python 2 only).

Rename your .pyw program to .py and run (provided you have installed Pyinstaller):

pyinstaller file.py

And use the --windowed flag to hide the console.
