You should be able to point it any any file-like object. But, again,
why?
If you have the data in the process why send it to stdout and redirect
it. Why not just send the data to the client directly?
Well you might want to multiplex it to more then one client, not saying
that this is the case here, just something I imagine possible.
That still doesn't make sense. Why 'multiplex stdout'? Why not just
multiplex the data into proper IPC channels in the first place?
I am going on a stretch here, I mostly agree with you, just trying to
illustrate that there could be corner cases where this is sensible.
The current situation could be that there is a client/server program
(binary only perhaps) which is not multi-user safe.
Python can be used as a wrapper around the server to make it
multi-client, by emulating the exact behavior towards the client, the
client program does not have to be changed.
