Launch windows batch file from wxPython (2 requirements)

wxPython Users
1

I want the following to happen when I launch a windows bat file from
wxPython:
1) No "dos-window" should appear on the screen.
2) My GUI should wait until the bat file finish.

So far I'm only able to satisfy 1 of the requirements:

os.system('my.bat > nul')
os.spawnv( os.P_WAIT, 'my.bat', ('my.bat',' > nul') )
dump = os.popen( 'my.bat' )

The first two waits for the process to finish, but display the anoying
dos-window.
The last one does not display the dos-window but don't wait for the bat file
to complete.

Is there a third option? Can Python/wxPython handle both requirements at the
same time?

Thanks for any help!
Jens

Does the last option work if you read the entire contents, like so:
dump = os.popen('my.bat').read()
