Windows GUI apps don't have valid standard streams. stdin, stdout and
stderr aren't connected and their fileno is -1. I guess you have to
connect the streams manually when you create a console window. C code
can use freopen() but I don't know how to properly redirect the streams
from Python.

MSDN has probably some docs for you.
