I guess that's ok for now, but we might want to call it from inside 
GnuCash someday.  It seems to me that the other workaround, to ignore 
SIGTTOU, is better.  You could just ignore it while initializing Python 
if you want to limit the possibility of ignoring one you care about.

Also, has anyone tried to use a Python script that access GnuCash with 
the patch to not initialize the Python module in gnucash-bin.c applied? 
I didn't and it seems to me that calling GnuCash from a Python script 
might trigger the SIGTTOU hang.  Won't init.py be executed then?  If so 
it will probably hang when it imports pycons.console.

Another workaround would be to remove the console support from init.py. 
It's currently not used, but it still imports pycons.console which 
triggers the hang.
