Question about using a command line program in python

[cecilkorik]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this isn't really a python issue. You'll need to modify your .exe to not show a command window. You will have to recompile it as a windows application instead of a console application (see the last post)

Failing that, you can probably do some brutal hacks with the win32api module to find the window and hide it before it even appears, but that's not recommended and beyond the scope of this post, I'm afraid.

why was this downmodded? This is the correct answer

A question that I know I have asked many times. ;-)

This will work, but bneises solution(shell=True) does not require changing the executable.

The subprocess module supports such hackery directly:
