I just noticed that regrtest also has a --nowindows flag that uses SetErrorMode (see Lib/test/regrtest.py:490).
The implementation is a bit different:
 1) it uses msvcrt instead of going through ctypes.windll.kernel32;
 2) it specifies SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS, SEM_NOALIGNMENTFAULTEXCEPT, and SEM_NOOPENFILEERRORBOX in addition to SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX;
 3) it doesn's seem to save and restore the previous error mode;
 4) it has additional calls to CrtSetReportMode and CrtSetReportFile;
 5) it doesn't check the platform and thus raises an ImportError if msvcrt is missing;

Do you think this flag should be removed?
Should I improve my context manager with any of these things?
