Can't print Python pyo

Question

Help, I can't seem to print anything as soon as I call pyo audio server.

It just exits without returning anything.

Even something like this:

from pyo import *
s = Server()
print("this is not printed")
s.boot()
x = 3.4
print(x,"neither are these")

This should be working right? Or am I hugely mistaken?

I am using the python module pyo version 1.0.1 with Python version 3.7.3 run using Python IDLE 3.7

btw: audio output works, I just want printing for debugging purposes

The problem appears to be redirection of stdout as seen here: stdout redirect from Jupyter notebook is landing in the terminal

The example below worked for me. I don't know whether this fix screws up anything with pyo - I imagine the GUI portion could have some issues - but I have been able to produce the sounds I want after applying this fix.

# %%
import sys
old_stdout = sys.stdout

# %%
print('Hello World') # Outputs 'Hello World'

# %%
s=Server()
print('Hello Server') # No output; 'Hello Server' appears in the terminal that called python to begin with

# %%
sys.stdout = old_stdout
print('Hello Again') # Outputs 'Hello Again'
