Two posts ago, I described how I wrote a function in Python that reads in a binary file from Labview. In my last post, I described using wxPython to write a GUI to process the data from those binary files. Naturally, I called the binary-file-reader function from the GUI. The problem is that the file reader prints a lot of information to the terminal, using Python printstatements. None of this goes to the GUI, requiring the user to run the GUI from a terminal and keep an eye on the text output, which is inconvenient. However, I don’t want to modify the file reader to include GUI-specific code, because that would be less modular and less re-usable. Instead, I learned that Python has a very easy facility to redirectstdout, the default destination of the print statement. I modified the file reader as follows:
