Why? 2.6 was retired in October 2013.  For long life of your code you
should be using Python 3, but at least 2.7 is still current and getting
updates (for another 18 months or so).

If you use pytest, this should be fairly straightforward. It normally
captures stdout and stderr (the latter should have your asserts), and
with a plugin, puts logging output on the same basis, so you get get
everything going the same place:
