Hi all,

I'm writing a little application that will log all contact received on 
port 6346.  It works a treat except...it leaves a console window open. 
Right now I want to learn how to start it in the background and then I 
will find a way to give it a System Tray icon.

How do I do this in Python.

The code is attached - its a learning exercise so please excuse if it 
appears lame.
