I'm actually intimidated enough by a few tries I make to say something on Python-Ideas, that I thought I'd run this by youguys first.
import sys class ThreadedOut: def __init__( self, old ): self._old= old def write( self, s ): self._old.write( s ) sys.stdout= ThreadedOut( sys.stdout ) >>> a >>> 0 0 Python 3.0a2 WinXP, on the console. 'a' is undeclared but error message isn't thrown. With 'sys.stdout= Thr...' commented: >>> a Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'a' is not defined >>> 0 0 But the docs say: stdout and stderr needn't be built-in file objects: any object is acceptable as long as it has a write() method that takes a string argument.
