I use mod_wsgi 2.5, mercurial 1.3.1 and Python 2.6.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 After some experimenting with the Mercurial API I was able to get things to write without any output to sys.stdout (without redirecting). First of all I check if the username is provided before creating the repository, providing a dummy one if not. The web2py code readded the list of files it thought interesting before every commit. That caused a warning about files already being in the repository. Instead I know create a .hgignore file if it does not already exists (excluding some file types and errors, cache and databases directories). After that I addremove all files and commit. The list of files committed is now taken from the last changeset, and the commit.html was updated to take info from that one as well.
The change to the .hgignore file and using addremove has the advantage that going to the repository from the commandline gives you far less junk. So no need to redirect sys.stdout, but thanks for the feedback on that anyway (I did read the docs, but it was more than 2 years ago).
