Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of how to detect when IO redirection of any form is happening within a Python program? I would like to emulate the behaviour of the GNU tools (for example the Unix commands 'ls' or 'grep') whereby ascii escape sequences are printed if the output is solely to the terminal, and in all other cases (redirection to file via '>', pipes via '|', or more complex redirections) the ascii escape characters are suppressed. Any ideas would be appreciated!
