BTW: Did you find a way to catch stderr output from binary extension modules?
In our terminal we just redirected sys.stderr, which does not effect our C++ 
extensions. :-(

Maybe it's possible to redirect the file descriptors?

In that case, would we have a problem with buffering, or does that happen 
after writing.. no.  The iostreams library will already buffer output I 
guess. :-(

An idea worth thinking about though.  (Otherwise, extension module which 
containt printf's or cerr << "sth." will output to the terminal that started 
the IPython GUI.  That's not optimal, but at least none of the standard 
modules do such things AFAICS.. ;-) Oh yes - the version mismatch warning 
from Python could be an example!)

Have a nice day,
