[issue12362] General Windows stdout redirection not working

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The file association for .py is pythonw, which does exactly as you say, intentionally, so as to avoid problems with windows when running a GUI application.  My understanding is that this caters to the most common use case on Windows: double clicking a .py file launching a Python GUI application.  When running a python script in the console, use 'python', as in your example (or manually change your file association).
