From earlier statements made by John I had inferred that is was not possible to call python scripts from within gnucash.
My solution/workaround was offered from that point of view. I see now that I probably misunderstood what he meant. In any case the python module shows python code can be called from gnucash, although we are not doing it (except for the init.py script). > It seems to me that the other workaround, to ignore > SIGTTOU, is better.

This doesn't rule out that a python script could trigger a SIGTTOU anyway, but I can't tell because I'm not getting these signals on my system at all, not even when running gnucash. > Another workaround would be to remove the console support from > init.py.

Yet there must be another factor here because I can't reproduce this at all. We may still have to dig a bit deeper to find the real root cause. But I have no idea where to start as it works on my machine...
