this ticket is transfered from former bug tracking system

Possible implementation (borrowed from AppTest.py)

class SuppressOutput(object):
    class Blackhole(object):
        def write(self, *args):
            pass

    def __init__(self):
        self.__savedStreams = [sys.stdout, sys.stderr]

    def __enter__(self):
        sys.stdout = self.Blackhole()
        sys.stderr = self.Blackhole()

    def __exit__(self, *args):
        sys.stdout, sys.stderr = self.__savedStreams

And test with:

with SuppressOutput():
    self.assertRaises(RuntimeError, noisyMethod)
