Description : Capture C-level output in context managers
A common task in Python (especially while testing or debugging) is to redirect sys.stdout to a
stream or a file while executing some piece of code. However, simply "redirecting stdout" is
sometimes not as easy as one would expect. In particular, things become interesting when you want
C code running within your Python process (including, but not limited to, Python modules
implemented as C extensions) to also have its stdout redirected according to your wish. This
turns out to be tricky and leads us into the interesting world of file descriptors, buffers and
system calls.
It is a dependency of lmfit.
It will be maintain in Debian-Science team.
