If I understand this correctly you have  mainprog.py and subprog.py.
And you want mainprog.py to modify subprog.py such that when you run subprog.py it swaps case of the output?

An easier way to achieve that would be to write a program that simply translates its input into a swapcased output. Then you can redirect the output of subprog.py into that program:

python subprog.py | python swapcase.py

Now, the fact that these are two python scripts rather than executables complicates things slightly so you probably need to experiment with the shell syntax to make it work, but that would be my approach.
