Actually, I'd call this the preferred approach unless you're really
just working temporarily at the interactive prompt.

If you're writing actual code, then you can't really be positive that
sys.stdout hasn't already been redirected before you get called (some
other module may have imported you and is using one of your
functions), so if you reset to sys.__stdout__ explicitly you might not
be properly restoring any previous redirection.
