Track down Python print statements that clutter your output.

override_print.py

# Trace 'print' statement calls cluttering your test suite output.
#
# It is not that simple to track 'print' statement in Python 2.x - it
# cannot be monkey-patched itself, because it's not a function. So we
# override sys.stdout and check the backtrace when stdout is written
# to.
#
# The overload happens only if TRACE_PRINT environment variable is
# set. By default, only the offending file name and line number is
# printed; if TRACE_PRINT environment variable is set to 'traceback',
# full call stack is printed to find most tricky cases.
