That's what I think, at least from within a script. To me redirect_xxx() always looked like a workaround to have old code write to a destination that was unforeseen in the initial design. I prefer

dump_stuff(dest)

to

with redirect_stdout(dest):
   dump_stuff()

That said -- do you have a suggestion how the logging library could be adapted to work smoothly with redirect_xxx()?

(A compelling use case would also be nice, but note that I'm not the one who makes the decisions.)
