Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

I very often pipe the output of the sysconfig CLI to the head utility from coreutils, so that I can check only the "paths" section of the output. This results in a BrokenPipeError exception, as we keep trying to write after the pipe closes.

$ python -m sysconfig | head -n 14
Platform: "linux-x86_64"
Python version: "3.11"
Current installation scheme: "posix_prefix"

Paths:
	data = "/usr"
	include = "/usr/include/python3.11"
	platinclude = "/usr/include/python3.11"
	platlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages"
	platstdlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11"
	purelib = "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages"
	scripts = "/usr/bin"
	stdlib = "/usr/lib/python3.11"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 851, in <module>
    _main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 847, in _main
    _print_dict('Variables', get_config_vars())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/sysconfig.py", line 833, in _print_dict
    print(f'\t{key} = "{value}"')
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I'd be nice if we could suppress this error.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
