In windows you can do so:

import ctypes
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN = 0x02

ret = ctypes.windll.kernel32.SetFileAttributesW('CAMINHO/PARA/FICHEIRO.txt',
                                                FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN)
if ret:
    print 'Ficheiro definido para oculto'
else:  # se retornar algum erro
    raise ctypes.WinError()

I did not test because I do not have windows, so I’m not sure if it will work, if it does not work say I withdraw the answer from here
