Problems redirecting STDOUT (NOT sys.stdout) to a pipe.

[Elad]

Hello All,

I am trying to capture some printf's from a C function called by
python.
<Working under winxp>

I have tried to following:

STDOUT = 1    # stdout fd
(re, we) = os.pipe()    # Create re / write handlers
dup2(we, STDOUT)    # override system's stdout, should dup first and
restore later..

call_my_hello_world()   # if stdout is not overriden will print hello
world on console screen

x = os.read(re, 11)

sadly, x = '' after the code is executed.

help ? :-)

Thanks, 

Elad.
