Can you work with nodes invisibly in Python?

I am preparing the nodes with Python and use the settings on different nodes and then destroy it.
Is there a way you can do these stuff invisibly without seeing the nodes getting drawing on the Network view?

You could move them far off in the distance, perhaps.

hou.RedrawBlock() [www.sidefx.com] seems to work as advertised on the super simple test below:

with hou.RedrawBlock():
  newNode = hou.node('/obj').createNode('geo', 'geo'); 
  newNode.destroy()
