Sorry, I probably didn't mean to use the print in my example.

Of course though you can always wrap sys.stdout if you wanted
to capture the output for post-escaping.

You can't wrap sys.stdout or replace it for the purposes of a single
request. This is because mod_python needs to be able to work in a
multi thread MPM where multiple requests need to be handled at the
same time. The cgihandler in mod_python does fiddle with sys.stdout,
but to do that it has to lock on the cgihandler so only one at a
time can run, thus affecting performance.
