If they are python functions, this hack should work...
import sys
class NullWriter(object):
def write(self, arg):
pass
def testfunc():
print "this is a test"
nullwrite = NullWriter()
oldstdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = nullwrite # disable output
testfunc()
sys.stdout = oldstdout # enable output
testfunc()
