Not a bug, it's a feature.  Really cool for debugging a gui app with
print statements.

I rename my *.py files to *.pyw if I'm done debugging and I want
the console to vanish.  You don't even have to remove the print 
statements.  They won't crash the program even though there is no 
console to print on.  The messages might go to a secret place, IDK.
I can imagine that when this computer reaches its final reward, 
the recycler will smash some component deep in the guts of this
machine and all of that previously unseen print output will splill
out all over the floor.
