PuTTY Windows pywinauto background

I did a script on Windows using PuTTY: 

from pywinauto.application import Application
app = Application().Start(cmd_line='C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\putty.exe -l user -pw  **pwd**  -load Proxy_10.153.1.250 '+ ip +'  -ssh')
putty = app.PuTTY

putty.Wait('ready')
time.sleep(7)
cmd1 = "show log   "+ "{ENTER}"

This script will be executed for many switchs, but when it is executed, I cannot do other tasks on Windows else script will be interrupted? Is it possible to be executed in background?

You need a proper tool for CLI automation. Just run subprocess.call('ssh user@host <the rest of cmd>') or use Paramiko to run remote SSH command.

BTW, pywinauto's code is incomplete, I don't see .type_keys(cmd1). You may try .send_chars(cmd1) instead and use putty.minimize() first. But send_chars is not guaranteed to work with every app (and it's experimental). So you can just try.
