I don't think this (overriding sys.stdout) will work for what Gökhan is
trying to do. Unlike displayhook(), which gets an object,
sys.stdout.write() only gets the string form, so you can't easily produce a
different representation.

For a Python class, you could monkeypatch __str__() to produce your
preferred representation, but ndarray is defined in compiled code, so
that's not an option.
