One solution that works for me is the following:
Say your script is test.py
set up a batch file, say xtest.bat:
   @echo off
   python test.py

Go to Windows Explorer and right click on xtest.bat, click Properties,
select Program tab, select 'minimized' in Run: box, and check 'Close
on exit'
Then at the desktop, click Start, Run and type: c:xtest
The DOS box should not appear.
