**Edit:** Please notice I'm using Python 2.6 (as tagged)

Say I have the following:

```
class Foo:
    def bar(self):
        print 'bar'
        return 7

```

And say I have the following unit test:

```
import unittest
class ut_Foo(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_bar(self):
        obj = Foo()
        res = obj.bar()
        self.assertEqual(res, 7)

```

So if I run:

```
unittest.main()

```

I get:

```
bar # <-- I don't want this, but I *do* want the rest
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.002s

OK
Exit code:  False

```

My question is: Is there a way to suppress the output of the object being tested while still getting the output of the unittest framework?

**Edit**
This question is not a duplicate of the [flagged question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/2828953/1393498) which is asking about silencing stdout of a particular function within a normal python script.

Whereas this question is asking about hiding the normal stdout of a python script while running it's unittests. I still want the unittest stdout to be displayed, and I don't want to disable the stdout of my tested script.
