How to capture stdout output from a Python function call?
To capture stdout output from a Python function call, we can use the redirect_stdout function.
For instance, we write
import io
from contextlib import redirect_stdout
f = io.StringIO()
with redirect_stdout(f):
do_something(my_object)
out = f.getvalue()
to call redirect_stdout with the f StringIO object.
Then we call do_something which prints stuff to stdout.
And then we get the value printed to stdout with f.getvalue.
Conclusion
To capture stdout output from a Python function call, we can use the redirect_stdout function.
