Answer 1

Redirect stdout and capture its output in an object?

import sys

# a simple class with a write method
class WritableObject:
    def __init__(self):
        self.content = []
    def write(self, string):
        self.content.append(string)

# example with redirection of sys.stdout
foo = WritableObject()                   # a writable object
sys.stdout = foo                         # redirection

print "one, two, three, four"            # some writing

And then just take the "output" from foo.content and do what you want with it.

Please disregard if I have misunderstood your requirement.
