How to run a python script with cmd.exe and make it invisible

How do I run an invisible cmd.exe command?

Example:

C:\Python27\tool.py

and make it visible after a while?

I tried some methods that I found on Google but I'm not very satisfied. I do not have administrative rights on this PC either if that makes a difference.

How to run invisible a cmd.exe command,example:

Below is one example you may find works as you describe:

1. You will have the batch file with the below logic named tool.bat

   • @ECHO OFF
     python "C:\Python27\tool.py"
     EXIT /B
     

2. You will have a VBS file with the below logic named tool.vbs

Ensure the path below in the C:\tool.bat part is pointed to the correct path to the batch file

• Set WinScriptHost = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  WinScriptHost.Run Chr(34) & "C:\tool.bat" & Chr(34), 0
  Set WinScriptHost = Nothing
  

3. You will then execute the tool.vbs file and your process should run hidden.
