sounds like a really neat module to have handy for graphical programs.
Look at py.io[1]. It seems to have implemented a probably-cross-platform
solution. Please check it out and let c.l.py and the py mailing list
know if it works on Windows.

Thanks guys. I found I had a bootable Linux system. With some
stuff from py.io, and *without* the fsync(), this one worked on
Windows and Linux in my not-so-extensive testing.

"""
Import this module into graphical Python apps to provide a
sys.stderr. No functions to call, just import it. It uses
only facilities in the Python standard distribution.
If nothing is ever written to stderr, then the module just
sits there and stays out of your face. Upon write to stderr,
it launches a new process, piping it error stream. The new
process throws up a window showing the error messages.
