if you're talking about things that Python prints to stderr, all you need
to do is to replace sys.stderr with something more suitable:
import sys
sys.stderr = open("/dev/null", "w")
or, more portable:
class NullDevice:
def write(self, s):
pass
sys.stderr = NullDevice()
if you want to redirect both things printed via sys.stderr and things
printed to stderr at the C level, you need to redirect the STDERR file
handle. here's one way to do that:
import os, sys
sys.stderr.flush()
err = open('/dev/null', 'a+', 0)
os.dup2(err.fileno(), sys.stderr.fileno())
hope this helps!
