Hello,
I was wondering if there is any way in python to 'collect output to
string' as in some lisps/schemes. Output being, printed output to the
console using print.
Rebind sys.stdout to a StringIO object.

If you are using print or print(), you can redirect output to the
StringIO object with >>sfile or file=sfile. I use the latter in a custom
test function where I normally want output to the screen but
occasionally want to capture test reports.
