howto run a function w/o text output?

[dmitrey]

hi all,
I have a
y = some_func(args)
statement, and the some_func() produces lots of text output. Can I
somehow to suppress the one?
Thx in advance, D.

Either rewrite it or pipe sys.stdout to some other file-like object but
your console while running it. The StringIO
(http://docs.python.org/lib/module-StringIO.html) module might help.

import sys
import os
 
sys.stdout = open(os.devnull,"w")

In addition to the other solutions proposed, on a *nix system you can
do os.close(1); os.close(2) to suppress output to stdout and stderr.
