Use pythonw.exe to run it instead pf python.exe.
But of course any output will be lost! So you might want to run
it with redirection to a file.

In Win NT there are 3 ways to do this: run your application as NT
service, or write a GUI and make the main window hidden. Application
of the second type will work only if somebody is logged in on station,
but service will survive logouts.

Windows NT services

You can build Windows NT services by passing a service keyword argument
to the setup function, the value must be a list of Python module names
containing a service class (identified by the _svc_name_ attribute):

# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(service=["MyService"])

The build service executable are able to install and remove themselves
by calling them with certain command line flags, run the exe with the
-help argument to find out more.
