The "DOS box" will still be displayed.  Surprisingly enough I didn't
get a stack trace saying that "Object 'Non' has no 'write' attribute",
but then again the stack trace would b e sent to sys.stderr (None).

What Olav wants is to name his "main" script with the extension .pyw
instead of .py and the DOS box won't appear.  (It will use the
'pythonw' binary executable instead of 'python')
