I can say that it is *not* possible to generically capture stdout from Inline::C (a la printf), as far as I know. I would not expect to be able to do it with Python, since that's a C library as far as Perl is concerned. If you can redirect the output to a file handle, that's not too big a surprise, but already better than I would have expected.
