Do you mean something like this?
import sys
class OutStreamEncoder(object):
"""Wraps a stream with an encoder"""
def __init__(self, outstream, encoding=None):
self.out = outstream
if not encoding:
self.encoding = sys.getfilesystemencoding()
else:
self.encoding = encoding
def write(self, obj):
"""Wraps the output stream, encoding Unicode
strings with the specified encoding"""
if isinstance(obj, unicode):
self.out.write(obj.encode(self.encoding))
else:
self.out.write(obj)
def __getattr__(self, attr):
"""Delegate everything but write to the stream"""
return getattr(self.out, attr)
You can wrap sys.stdout easily:
sys.stdout = OutStreamEncoder(sys.stdout)
