I would like this too.

I've mostly been using Fabric from the command line, with a local  
fabfile.py.

Now, I'm just starting to call into Fabric code from regular Python  
scripts and can see that I'm going to need this functionality, too.

Can this be done more nicely as a decorator since we've already got a  
Python 2.5+ requirement anyway?

@capture_stderr
def func_that_wants_stderr(...)
        pass

Thanks,
