I don't know if there's a simpler way, but we once wrote a
redirector which checked threading.currentThread() to determine
whether a particular .write() call should be redirected or
just passsed through to the original output via sys.__stdout__.

Sorry, I don't have access to the code any more, but it shouldn't
be hard for you to reproduce.
