ok, may be I replied a bit to quickly. Sorry.

Python's C API has a couple of functions to write to stdout.

What I said earlier is still true: std::cout is a global object that is
not automagically reconnected to any 'console' you may provide. You have
to do that yourself. So the solution I suggested still seems valid:
Write a streambuf class that uses the python C API in its 'overflow'
call, and then reset std::cout.rdbuf() to use that.
