I'm actually intimidated enough by a few tries I make to say something
on Python-Ideas, that I thought I'd run this by youguys first.
import sys
class ThreadedOut:
def __init__( self, old ):
self._old= old
def write( self, s ):
self._old.write( s )
sys.stdout= ThreadedOut( sys.stdout )
>>> a
>>> 0
0
Python 3.0a2 WinXP, on the console. 'a' is undeclared but error
message isn't thrown. With 'sys.stdout= Thr...' commented:
>>> a
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'a' is not defined
>>> 0
0
But the docs say:
stdout and stderr needn't be built-in file objects: any object is
acceptable as long as it has a write() method that takes a string
argument.
What's the catch?
