Python - Overridding print()

Question

I'm using mod_wsgi and was wondering if it's possible to over-write the print() command (since it's useless).

Doing this doesn't work:

print = myPrintFunction

Since it's a syntax error. :(

Answer 1

Print is not a function in Python 2.x, so this is not directly possible.

You can, however, override sys.stdout.

If you are on Python 3.0 in which print is now a function what you have would then work, assuming you have the right signature. Also see a related question in this site.
