Disable close button of console window

I want to control usage of the [X] button (the exit window button), which is generally present in the top-right corner when running a console-based Python application. I will be providing an in-program call to: sys.exit() when required. I know there is a similar option available even for Java GUI programming.

Try:

import win32console, win32gui, win32con
hwnd = win32console.GetConsoleWindow()
if hwnd:
   hMenu = win32gui.GetSystemMenu(hwnd, 0)
   if hMenu:
       win32gui.DeleteMenu(hMenu, win32con.SC_CLOSE, win32con.MF_BYCOMMAND)

It requires the pywin32 modules to be installed. Note: I have not tested this, as I haven't got access to a Windows machine ATM.
