> But unlike Unix, these text messages are guaranteed to be lost. Not really. We are probably talking about release builds primarily, where the only such message is the system error (as the assertions aren't compiled in, anyway). If such an error occurs, the message is lost - but an error code is returned to the API function that caused the error. This error code should then translate to a Python exception (e.g. an ImportError if the dialog tried to say that a DLL could not be loaded). Whether or not that exception then also gets lost depends on the application.
