PSSE is rather talkative and makes liberal use of STDOUT just to let you know its happy. Does anyone know how to silence PSSE and just make it report important things like errors?

For example just setting up psse with the command:

psspy.psseinit(80000)

Causes PSSE to dump a copyright notice and other info to STDOUT:

 PSS«E Version 32

 Siemens Energy, Inc.,

Other common operations like reading a raw file behave in the same way. Now I know I could redirect all STDOUT in Python, but that seems rather drastic. Any ideas?
