Depending on how the testsuite is implemented, which I forget in detail,
it might be. The os.dup2() method allows child processes to inherit the
redirected standard handles. Reassigning os.stdout will not do that.
There might be a way to maintain the inheritance behaviour by creating
child processes differently.

So yeah ... this is a bit of serious nonsense from the Python devs.
Breaking decades' worth of legacy code is never a good idea.
