How to get rid of a VBS command shell while calling in from python

I am trying to create a speak application by using a VBScript instead of using the pyttsx3 python library. My application works very well but whenever I call the VBS from python, an extra command window pops up which I don't want.

My python code:

import subprocess
subprocess.call('cmd /c TextSpeak.vbs')

Here's what I tried:

import subprocess
console = subprocess.call('cmd /c TextSpeak.vbs')
CREATE_NO_WINDOW = 0x08000000
subprocess.call('taskkill /F /IM exename.exe', creationflags=CREATE_NO_WINDOW)

It opens VBS shell which I don't need and it quite annoying.

Any help?

Code example will be more helpful Thanks.

`cmd /c TextSpeak.vbs` -> `TextSpeak.vbs`? – Ansgar Wiechers Oct 03 '19 at 15:07

@ÉtienneLaneville That does not work.. while calling the vbs from python code... it still pops up console – CoderBittu Oct 04 '19 at 05:10
Sorry about that. It seems like a frequent question, I saw a lot of different approaches when researching your question. Good luck! – Étienne Laneville Oct 04 '19 at 06:32
