Something like this: py> import cStringIO py> import sys py> py> def foo(): ... print "test" ... py> f = cStringIO.StringIO() py> sys.stdout = f py> foo() py> s = f.getvalue() py> sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__ py> f.close() py> print s.capitalize() Test -- JanC "Be strict when sending and tolerant when receiving."
