How can I open two consoles from a single script

Question

Apart from the scripts own console (which does nothing) I want to open two consoles and print the variables con1 and con2 in different con

If you don't want to reconsider your problem and use a GUI such as in @Kevin's answer then you could use subprocess module to start two new consoles concurrently and display two given strings in the opened windows:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import time
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE

messages = 'This is Console1', 'This is Console2'

# open new consoles
processes = [Popen([sys.executable, "-c", """import sys
for line in sys.stdin: # poor man's `cat`
    sys.stdout.write(line)
    sys.stdout.flush()
"""],
    stdin=PIPE, bufsize=1, universal_newlines=True,
    # assume the parent script is started from a console itself e.g.,
    # this code is _not_ run as a *.pyw file
    creationflags=CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)
             for _ in range(len(messages))]

# display messages
for proc, msg in zip(processes, messages):
    proc.stdin.write(msg + "\n")
    proc.stdin.flush()

time.sleep(10) # keep the windows open for a while

# close windows
for proc in processes:
    proc.communicate("bye\n")

Here's a simplified version that doesn't rely on CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Show messages in two new console windows simultaneously."""
import sys
import platform
from subprocess import Popen

messages = 'This is Console1', 'This is Console2'

# define a command that starts new terminal
if platform.system() == "Windows":
    new_window_command = "cmd.exe /c start".split()
else:  #XXX this can be made more portable
    new_window_command = "x-terminal-emulator -e".split()

# open new consoles, display messages
echo = [sys.executable, "-c",
        "import sys; print(sys.argv[1]); input('Press Enter..')"]
processes = [Popen(new_window_command + echo + [msg])  for msg in messages]

# wait for the windows to be closed
for proc in processes:
    proc.wait()
