putting the output of a print statement into a string

[Jon Perez]

There are objects whose repr() is not the same
as what gets printed out when you apply the
print statement to them.  Usually these are
complex objects like exceptions.

Example:

>>> import smtplib

>>> server=smtplib.SMTP("smtp.yourisp.com")

>>> try:
          server.sendmail("[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
                          "[EMAIL PROTECTED]","message")

    except smtplib.SMTPRecipientsRefused, senderrs:
          exc_obj=senderrs

>>> repr(exc_obj)
'<smtplib.SMTPRecipientsRefused instance at 0x00EA7C60>'

>>> print exc_obj
{'[EMAIL PROTECTED]': (550, 'Verification failed for <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>\nunrouteable mail domain "in88validdomain.com"\nSender
verify failed')}


Question:

Is there a way to somehow put the output of 'print exc_obj' into
a string?
