Python. How to execute a system command(Windows) avioding console?

Question

Now I'm running my scrypt with pythonw.exe and when the following command is executing cmd appears:

r = subprocess.call('net stop tomcat7', shell=False)
print r

How to make cmd not appear when code executing?

Try with `shell = True`. – Ashwini Chaudhary Jun 23 '13 at 07:39 — Ashwini Chaudhary, Jun 23 '13 at 07:39

Try to set shell parameter 'True'.

r = subprocess.call('net stop tomcat7', shell=True)  
print r

I used this startupinfo with subprocess.Popen (in this project):

subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW = 1
startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW

subprocess.Popen(
    [app] + args,
    startupinfo=startupinfo,
    stderr=subprocess.PIPE,
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
