Ignore BrokenPipeError when piping the output of the sysconfig CLI #110786
Description
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
I very often pipe the output of the sysconfig CLI to the head utility from coreutils, so that I can check only the "paths" section of the output. This results in a BrokenPipeError exception, as we keep trying to write after the pipe closes.
$ python -m sysconfig | head -n 14 Platform: "linux-x86_64" Python version: "3.11" Current installation scheme: "posix_prefix" Paths: data = "/usr" include = "/usr/include/python3.11" platinclude = "/usr/include/python3.11" platlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages" platstdlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11" purelib = "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages" scripts = "/usr/bin" stdlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 851, in <module> _main() File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 847, in _main _print_dict('Variables', get_config_vars()) File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 833, in _print_dict print(f'\t{key} = "{value}"') BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe I'd be nice if we could suppress this error.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
