When running pythonw, fileno(stdout) is negative, so sys.stdout is set to None, and print() silently returns. But the situation is not perfect, see http://bugs.python.org/issue6501 where Apache provides a stdout, but python cannot determine the encoding because there is no console. -- Amaury Forgeot d'Arc _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
