Yet as a matter of principle it's better to store the original(s) and 
stuff them back when you're done in a finally clause, eg:

   so, se = sys.stdout, sys.stderr
   sys.stdout = sys.stderr = myfile
   try:
      ..do stuff..
   finally:
      sys.stdout, sys.stderr = so, se

After all it's better not to assume sys.stdout is sys.__stdout__ at the 
time your code is run.
