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. -- --Bryan """ 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.
