I'm using the following code to hide stderr on Linux/OSX for a Python library I do not control that writes to stderr by default:

f = open("/dev/null","w")
zookeeper.set_log_stream(f)

Is there an easy cross platform alternative to /dev/null? Ideally it would not consume memory since this is a long running process.
