hidding the "console" window + system global shortcut keys

[Nick Coghlan]

Consider looking into Cygwin or MSYS if you want Windows access to *nix tools.

To hide the console window, use a .pyw extension on your Python scripts and/or 
run them with pythonw instead of python.

For the last, Mark Hammond's win32 extensions will probably be needed, but other 
than that, I have no idea :)

Cheers,
Nick.
