Generally for these kinds of assignment, I believe it's easier to read by starting out like this:

creationflags = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
    creationflags = CREATE_NO_WINDOW

CREATE_NO_WINDOW = 0x08000000

CREATE_NO_WINDOW is used twice, is there a reason it is not a constant on module or class level ?

I intended to provide a obvious patch. You usually change my process control patches so I left that for you to decide on where you wished to define CREATE_NO_WINDOW.

creationflags = None

I am afraid that using creationflags as positional argument doesn't actually end up in the correct spot. Also I thought that positional arguments after keyword args are not allowed.

This concern is reflected in actual breakage as well: https://travis-ci.org/gitpython-developers/GitPython/jobs/148304657#L318
