-1 on this one. It is not a portable decision (only *nix OSes do have /dev/null). Also, why would we want it as a default constant? The subprocess module would need to open /dev/null every time. Despite that, I can't see how would someone use the redirection of errors to /dev/null through a python script and, at the same time, make it seem not a bad practice at all.
