Try something like this:
# WARNING: untested
def run_without_stdout(*args, **kwargs):
function = args[0]
args = args[1:]
savestdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = cStringIO.StringIO()
result = None
try:
result = function(*args, **kwargs)
finally:
# don't forget to restore stdout, or you
# really will regret it...
sys.stdout = savestdout
return result
