True, but how many Python programs use C libraries that write to FILE* streams and need to mix in Python "standard output"? > Can something be done about this?

There's probably a way to hack the sys.stdout object to make it write data to the FILE* stream using fwrite(), but it'd be ugly. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
