I've rather lost track of what you're trying to do, but I would
second Gabriel's suggestion of the standard Windows method of
debug output: using OutputDebugString. There's an example here:

http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/capture-OutputDebugString.html

and it shouldn't be too hard to wrap it in a file-like
object for stderr-substitution use, say.

Obviously there are 1,001 other ways of doing IPC but since this
one's ready-made you might as well use it. You can distinguish
between different processes' outputs by virtue of the PID which
is the first item on the mmap.
