[issue30082] hide command prompt when using subprocess.Popen with shell=False on Windows

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower <steve.dower at python.org> added the comment:

If you use subprocess to launch any process that is marked SUBSYSTEM_CONSOLE, Windows will create a new console for it. For example, "python.exe" is such a process.

Eryk's answer in the very first StackOverflow link shows how to create a STARTUPINFO parameter with the correct settings. We just want to add a Boolean argument to subprocess.Popen.__init__() that can add that setting automatically.
