You could duplicate stdout [open(os.dup(sys.stdout.fileno()), ...)] You could make an IO class which sends bytes output to sys.stdout.buffer but won't close it when closed (you know, it'd be nice to be able to have "not owned underlying stream" as an option of the standard IO classes) If your output isn't going to be long, you could print everything to a StringIO and then write to sys.stdout.buffer at the end. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
