Instead of defining "print" you can assign a custom class to
sys.stdout.  Then all the print statements get automagically
redirected.:

if __debug__:
    class newStdout:
        def write(self,string):
            print string
else:
    class newStdout:
        def write(self,string):
            pass

import sys
sys.stdout = newStdout()
