scitools.redirect_io

Example usage:

Redirect stderr using the ‘with’-statement:

>>> from __future__ import with_statement
>>> from redirect_io import *
>>> with hidden_stderr():
...     print >> sys.stderr, 'Divide By Cucumber Error'
>>>

Redirect stderr to stout:

>>> with hidden_stderr(sys.stdout):
...     print >> sys.stderr, 'Where am I ?'
Where am I ?
>>>

Optinal usage without ‘with’-statement:

>>> _redirect_err()
>>> try:
...     print >> sys.stderr, " +++ Divide by Cucumber Error, "\
...                          "Please ReInstall Universe And Reboot +++"
... finally:
...     _return_err()
>>>

Fetch previous error messages:

>>> print _tmp_err.getvalue() 
Divide By Cucumber Error
 +++ Divide by Cucumber Error, Please ReInstall Universe And Reboot +++
