How to make WINE be quiet about MSVCR errors?

I downloaded the Python 2.7 MSI installer for Windows and proceeded to install it with Wine. It worked without any problems.

However, running wine python.exe leads to a whole bunch of these errors:

fixme:msvcrt:MSVCRT__sopen : pmode 0x81b6 ignored

The application technically works, but is very hard to use because of these error messages. (They come up multiple times while the program is running.)

Is there a way to tell Wine to ignore these messages?

You can have a lot of control on the wine error output, to turn off all the fixme, just run:

WINEDEBUG=fixme-all wine python.exe program

You can read the wine man page to find all the possible options.
