Why do you think it needs to be in C? As far as I can tell, so long as it
quacks like a file object (that is, has a write method), it should work.
>>> import StringIO, sys
>>> class Test:
... def __init__(self):
... self.out = sys.stdout
... self.log = StringIO.StringIO()
... def write(self, text):
... self.log.write(text.upper())
... self.out.write(''.join(reversed(text)))
...
>>> fake_out = Test()
>>> sys.stdout = fake_out
>>> print "Hello world"
dlrow olleH
>>> print "Goodbye cruel world!!!"
!!!dlrow leurc eybdooG
>>> sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
>>> fake_out.log.getvalue()
'HELLO WORLD\nGOODBYE CRUEL WORLD!!!\n'
