    You can set the CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE flag. For example:

    import subprocess

p = subprocess.Popen('a.bat', creationflags=subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE)

    The docs regarding shell=True are inconsistent with the implementation. If you specify shell=True, it sets CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE only if the platform is either Win9x or uses the 16-bit COMMAND.COM shell.
