There are some Windows-specific flags in the subprocess module that you 
can set to control the display of a console window. I use something like 
this:

      self.pscmd=os.path.join(execdir, 'pstools-1.1/txt2ps.exe')
        startupinfo =  subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
         startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
         txtps = self.pscmd  + ' -o ' + tempfile.gettempdir() + 
'\\whois.ps' + ' ' + tmpfile
         subprocess.check_output(txtps, startupinfo = startupinfo)

Hope this helps.
