What's this? Are you sure you are dealing with stdout?

When is it empty: After your session is closed? Or while it is
running?
Py_DECREF doesn't close it, since you assigned it to the system
stdout variable. You just (correctly) removed your reference.
I guess it would work if you kept the old stdout and assigned it
back, or do an explicit close.
