This is a Python FAQ. If you run a Python script on Windows with 
pythonw.exe instead of python.exe then you won't get a "DOS" console. 
You can also change the extension of your script to .pyw, which will 
also avoid the console appearing. Note that you probably want to have a 
console appear unless you have completely debugged your program since 
you won't see any exceptions or error messages displayed without a 
console window.
