I tried the redirect like python x.py > x.out and got unexpected results. Although
output was not successfully redirected into a text file as expected, the output shown lost
most of the fancy formatting like colors and transliterations for non-English alphabets.
Not the output is quite unreadable, but no more beeps.
I guess that is progress.
Thanks

Running interwiki.py in the background produces
infrequent but steady stream of beeps, which I can’t figure out how to turn off. It seems
like occasionally when program tries to display am non English character it beeps. The
beep does not respond to computer’s volume or mute control. I was looking for an option
for less verbose output, but could not find one. Is there any other way to control it
other than disabling motherboard speaker?
I run interwiki.py from DOS command line in Windows XP.
Have you tried redirecting stdout somewhere? e.g. `python x.py > x.out` (does windows
have a stderr?)
Also, try mucking in the DOS CLI options. (Right click the title bar)
