Using the pywin32 packages from Mark Hammond, this is a direct translation  
of the above:

<code>
import win32console, win32gui

win32console.AllocConsole()
stealth = win32gui.FindWindow("ConsoleWindowClass", None)
win32gui.ShowWindow(stealth, 0)
import time
time.sleep(5)
win32gui.ShowWindow(stealth, 1)
</code>

You must either run it using pythonw.exe, or remove the AllocConsole call
