If the code has been written with calls to a builtin
print function, the situation isn't much better. You
could monkeypatch the print function, but that's
probably worse than swapping sys.stdout.

(I agree that print should be a function, simply because
there's no strong reason for it *not* to be. But I
don't think it makes a difference to this particular
problem.)
