Windows python 2.2.1 IDLE glitch - unittest output display nothing

[David LeBlanc]

It may work if you do "python idle.py" from a command console and leave the
console open. Don't use Pythonw since that disconnects the app from the
console.

Since Windows lacks a unified stdio for consoles and gui apps, redirection
won't work and that's why you're seeing the difference between Windows and
Linux.
