How to suppress console output in Python?

But this post does not supply enough information. Because if I have to turn off DEBUG, I would like to know the steps on how to do that. So far I have downloaded the pygame source and went into joystick.c and commented out the lines that print to the console, and then I ran the setup.py, but the joystick functions still print out to the console. Also I am using Python 2.6 and pygame 1.9.1.

The other software that is using the joystick output needs to use the console for displaying of various information to the user. – Tantalate

This thread should resolve this: printf statements 1.9.1

I had this same issue except when running under PyScripter it causes a huge memory leak in PyScripter itself. So it was eating up all my memory on my machine. Nasty interaction.
