For my program I disable the py2exe log feature by routing output to the
nul-file.
Code:
if win32 and py2exe:
sys.stdout = open("nul", "w")
sys.stderr = open("nul", "w")
This always worked fine.
Today, I received an email from a user with the following error:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nul'
Now, I thought the nul-file always existed, shouldn't it?
Is there another way to disable output, if this one fails?
Cheers,

All you need is an object that behaves like a file, but does nothing
with the data sent to it. That's what duck-typing is all about.
I haven't tried it, but I'd start by making a new class:
class NullFile(object):
def __init__(self, *arg, **kwarg):
pass
def write(self, data, *arg, **kwarg):
pass
def close(self, *arg, **kwarg):
pass
and just say
sys.stdout = NullFile()
If you get any exceptions, you could add new methods to this file,
accordingly.
