Changing interpreter's deafult output/error streams

[Ira]

OK let me rephrase,

the standard error stream (and if I'm not mistaken also the one that
PyErr_Print() writes to) is the python object sys.stderr. Now say I'd go
ahead and write the following in python...

SomeNewStreamOrFileOrWhateverItIs = new stream
sys.stderr = SomeNewStreamOrFileOrWhateverItIs

I can go ahead and do the exact same thing from the C source code. All I
need to do is to figure out how to wrap a c-style FILE* with a PyObject, And
PySys_SetObjet("stderr", newstream);

I'm very new to python so that might be nonsense but it appeals to my
programmer's common sense. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
