Thanks for the response.  I tried the code you gave
me, but it didn't quite work like I wanted.  I created
a syntax error in my python file (left out a quotation
mark) and tried the code.  Below is the information
from my interpreter session:


>>> import sys
>>> from cStringIO import StringIO
>>> from compileall import compile_dir
>>> path='/home/hehn/test'
>>> orig_so = sys.stdout
>>> sys.stdout = captured = StringIO()
>>> compile_dir(path,force=1)
File "/home/hehn/test/me.py", line 2
Write('status)
Syntax Error:  invalid token
>>> sys.stdout = orig_so
>>> output = captured.getvalue()
>>> output
'Listing /home/hehn/test . . . Compiling
/home/hehn/test/me.py'


If an the prompt I just type the compile command, I
get all the output at once(see below).  I would like
the output variable to contain all this feedback from
the compile_dir command.  Not just the initial two
lines.  Any thoughts on what I did wrong?  Thank you
in advance.


>>> compile_dir(path,force=1)
Listing /home/hehn/test . . . 
Compiling /home/hehn/test/me.py . . . 
  File /home/hehn/test/me.py, line 2
  Write('status)
Syntax Error: invalid token
1
