Answer 1

I'd approach this by using threading module, and use os.fork() - but I'm not running Windows. I suggest having a look through Difference in behavior between os.fork and multiprocessing.Process for other OSes.

Answer 2

By "I want to run a python script as a process/in the background," do you mean make the window not visible? if so, just save the script as .pyw instead of .py

Answer 3

You can create your own exe by going to http://pytoexe.com . After that convert your script. Choose windows-based and convert it. You'll not have any problems after that. Hope that helps.
