Option to suppress REAPER output

[terriyu]

Hi,

Is there any method I can use to suppress printing statements like

Residual symmetry: P:2468.209473  N:1539.423462  MEAN:0.045802
Inverting signal

when I run pyreaper.reaper()?

I tried using a context like this:

class DummyFile(object):
    def write(self, x): pass

@contextlib.contextmanager
def suppress_print():
    save_stdout = sys.stdout
    save_stderr = sys.stderr
    sys.stdout = DummyFile()
    sys.stderr = DummyFile()
    yield
    sys.stdout = save_stdout
    sys.stderr = save_stderr

but it doesn't work. I guess since cython is used, the output is going through somewhere else besides stdout.

I found this post which explains that C level streams need special handling. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten it to work in all cases that I need.

The easiest way I can think of is to remove fprintf lines in REAPER (https://github.com/google/REAPER/blob/b171300c077be1098cc2fb5d440ee244bd5a4c39/epoch_tracker/epoch_tracker.cc#L766-L769) itself and re-build cython module.

Thanks for that idea. Can I fork your repo and try removing the lines?

Sure!

It worked, thank you!
