Answer 1

sys.stdout is simply file object, so, you can reopen it to another destination

out = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = open('output.txt', 'w')
// do some work
sys.stdout = out

out is only for recovering sys.stdout destination to default after work (as suggested Martijn Pieters - you can recover it by using sys.__stdout__, or not recover at all, if you don't need it).
