Python - How to hide the console when use os.system() or subprocess.call()?

You can hide the console window when using os.system() or subprocess.call() in Python on Windows by using the subprocess.STARTUPINFO option. This option allows you to specify how the new process should be started, including whether to show the console window. Here's how you can do it:

import subprocess # Command to execute command = 'your_command_here' # Hide the console window startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW # Execute the command without showing the console window subprocess.call(command, startupinfo=startupinfo)

Replace 'your_command_here' with the actual command you want to execute. This command will be executed without showing the console window.

If you're using subprocess.call() with arguments, you can pass them as a list:

import subprocess # Command and arguments to execute command = ['your_command_here', 'arg1', 'arg2'] # Hide the console window startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW # Execute the command without showing the console window subprocess.call(command, startupinfo=startupinfo)

This method works for hiding the console window on Windows. If you're on Unix-like systems such as Linux or macOS, hiding the console window might not be applicable, as these systems typically do not have a separate console window for each process.

    • Description: This query seeks Python code to execute a command with subprocess.Popen() while hiding the terminal window.
    import subprocess def hide_terminal_with_subprocess_popen(command): subprocess.Popen(command, shell=True, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NO_WINDOW) # Usage command = 'your_command_here' hide_terminal_with_subprocess_popen(command)

  5. "python subprocess.hide console output"

    • Description: This query searches for a way to hide console output when using subprocess in Python.
    import subprocess def hide_console_output_with_subprocess(command): subprocess.run(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True) # Usage command = 'your_command_here' hide_console_output_with_subprocess(command)

  6. "python os.system() hide console window"

    • Description: This query seeks a method to use os.system() in Python while hiding the console window.
    import os def hide_console_with_os_system(command): startupinfo = None if os.name == 'nt': startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW os.system(command) # Usage command = 'your_command_here' hide_console_with_os_system(command)

  7. "python hide terminal when running command"

    • Description: This query looks for Python code to run a command while hiding the terminal window.

  9. "python suppress console output subprocess"

    • Description: This query seeks a way to suppress console output when running a command with subprocess in Python.
    import subprocess def suppress_console_output_with_subprocess(command): subprocess.run(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True) # Usage command = 'your_command_here' suppress_console_output_with_subprocess(command)
