But be warned, I've had difficulty restoring stdout
afterwards, and needed to exit the interactive
interpreter to get things back to normal.
Because I'm paranoid, I might prefer to leave
sys.stdout as it, and use a custom print
function which I control:
_CAPTURE = StringIO.StringIO()
_FLAG = True # start capturing
def print(obj):
global _CAPTURE, _FLAG
if _FLAG:
where = _CAPTURE
else:
where = sys.stdout
print >>where, obj
Then I can start or stop capturing printing just by
changing a flag.
