I am writing some bindings for a c library using ctypes:

from ctypes.util import find_library
from ctypes import *


lib = find_library("lvm2app")

if not lib:
    raise Exception("LVM library not found.")

lvmlib = CDLL(lib)

It is all good, except the library prints to stdout every now and then and it is a bit annoying. Is there a way I can suppress these prints? Thanks.
