How to determine if IO redirection is occurring with the output from a Python program?

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! Cheers, Edward -- Edward d'Auvergne, PhD Lead develope
