smtplib.SMTP.sendmail() does not look in the message to find the sender
or recipients; it only uses the parameters you pass.

Include the BCC-recipients in the call to sendmail(), but don't put them
in the email message itself. Include TO-recipients in both. In other
words, what you put in the TO-header is what all recipients will see;
what you pass to sendmail() is what recipients the mail will be send to.
Simple example (not tested):
from_addr = 'foo at example.com'
to_addr = ['bar at example.com', 'xyzzy at example.com']
bcc_addr = ['spam at example.com', 'eggs at example.com']
msg = """From: %s
To: %s
Subject: test
hello
""" % (from_addr, ', '.join(to_addr))
smtp = smtplib.SMTP(...)
smtp.sendmail(from_addr, to_addr + bcc_addr, msg)
