If you want to "rewrite" a "stdout" object, just write a file-like 
object and replace sys.stdout !

Then don't care about the old stdout anymore ... it's a pipe and it 
won't bother you anymore :)

Another way to do so is the "C" way ... ie. using os.dup2. The advantage 
of the "dup2" method is the replacement of the stdout of the whole 
program (so, if you use external functions writing in stdout it will 
work), but the drawback is you need to have a real file (ie. file, pipe, 
...)

Depends on what you want to use :)
