Capture stdout from a script?

by

For future visitors: Python 3.4 contextlib provides for this directly (see Python contextlib help) via the redirect_stdout context manager:

from contextlib import redirect_stdout
import io

f = io.StringIO()
with redirect_stdout(f):
    help(pow)
s = f.getvalue()
