How to suppress console output in Python

0 votes
I'm using Pygame/SDL's joystick module to get input from a gamepad. Every time I call its get_hat()method it prints to the console. This is problematic since I use the console to help me debug and now it gets flooded with SDL_JoystickGetHat value:0: 60 times every second. Is there a way I can disable this? Either through an option in Pygame/SDL or suppress console output while the function calls? I couldn't find any solution in the documentation.

Can anyone help me with this?

You can try the following block of code and see if it works:

value = SDL_JoystickGetHat (joy, _index);
#ifdef DEBUG
    printf("SDL_JoystickGetHat value:%d:\n", value);
#endif
    if (value & SDL_HAT_UP) {
