Is it possible to cancel print statements in a python script without deleting the print command itself? For example, let's say I have a program that looks like the following:

print("a")
print("b")
print("c")
...
print("z")

Is it possible to make it such that nothing is printed without putting everything within a function?

Thanks.

Yes, you can. You want to redirect `stdout`. The linked duplicate includes an approach for doing so. – g.d.d.c Aug 15 '14 at 22:37

Thanks everyone. Should I delete my question then? – jj172 Aug 15 '14 at 22:38
If you want. Not like it's getting down-voted. – Mike Christensen Aug 15 '14 at 22:38
