Well, I wanted the information to be in a variable in memory, which I can
then send to the user (which isn't looking at stdout :) ). I suppose I could
set sys.stderr to something like a file which I then open and read after
each use of PyErr_Print -- or a pipe the other end of which I watch -- but
that doesn't seem very... elegant.
