python - Hide stderr output in unit tests

I'm writing a few unit tests of some code which uses sys.stderr.write to report errors in input. This is as it should be, but this clobbers the unit test output. Is there any way to tell Python to not output error messages for single commands, à la 2> /dev/null?

I suggest writing a context manager:

import contextlib
import sys

@contextlib.contextmanager
def nostderr():
    savestderr = sys.stderr
    class Devnull(object):
        def write(self, _): pass
        def flush(self): pass
    sys.stderr = Devnull()
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        sys.stderr = savestderr

Now, wrap any code snippet whose stderr you want suppressed in a with nostderr(): and you have the localized, temporary, guaranteed-reversible stderr suppression that you want.
