Im pretty sure there's a more pythonic way, but you could redirect
stdout to /dev/null

import sys
sys.stdout = open("/dev/null", 'w')

assuming you're not on windows...

Here's the more pythonic version:

# Fake a file handle with the write method
class NullDevice(obje ct):
def write(self, s):
pass

import sys
sys.stdout = NullDevice()

From the documentation (2.5):

class SimpleXMLRPCSer ver( addr[, requestHandler[, logRequests[,
allow_none[, encoding]]]])

"If logRequests is true (the default), requests will be logged;
setting this parameter to false will turn off logging."

Did you try setting logRequests to false?
