I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. Inside SimpleXMLRPCServer.py there is no
reference to 'stderr', and stdout only appears in the CGI handler.
BaseHTTPServer.py writes to sys.stderr in log_message(). SocketServer.py
may write to both sys.stderr and sys.stdout when an error is encountered
(in the handle_error method). But none of them alters nor reassigns
sys.stdout/sys.stderr; all output should go to the console from which you
started the server, unless you redirect it from the command line (or your
main program redirects it by code or does something strange with those
handles)
