How do I hide the console when I use os.system() or subprocess.call()?

Question

I wrote some statements like below:

os.system(cmd) #do something
subprocess.call(\'taskkill /F /IM exename.exe\')

both will pop up a consol

Answer 1

Add the shell=True argument to the subprocess calls.

subprocess.call('taskkill /F /IM exename.exe', shell=True)

Or, if you don't need to wait for it, use subprocess.Popen rather than subprocess.call.

subprocess.Popen('taskkill /F /IM exename.exe', shell=True)
