I wrote the below code

    import copy_reg, _abcoll, _pyio
    if (not hasattr(sys, 'gettotalrefcount')):
        raise Exception('Tracking    reference    leaks    requires    a    debug    build    of    Python')
    fs = warnings.filters[:]
    ps = copy_reg.dispatch_table.copy()
    pic = sys.path_importer_cache.copy()
    try:
        import zipimport
    except ImportError:
        zdc = None
    else:
        zdc = zipimport._zip_directory_cache.copy()
    abcs = {}
    modules = (_abcoll, _pyio)
    for abc in [getattr(mod, a) for mod in modules for a in mod.__all__]:
        if (not hasattr(abc, '_abc_registry')):
            continue
        for obj in (abc.__subclasses__() + [abc]):
            abcs[obj] = obj._abc_registry.copy()
    if indirect_test:
        def run_the_test():
            indirect_test()
    else:
        def run_the_test():
            imp.reload(the_module)
    deltas = []
    (nwarmup, ntracked, fname) = huntrleaks
    fname = os.path.join(test_support.SAVEDCWD, fname)
    repcount = (nwarmup + ntracked)
    print >>sys.stderr, 'beginning', repcount, 'repetitions'
    print >>sys.stderr, ('1234567890' * ((repcount // 10) + 1))[:repcount]
    dash_R_cleanup(fs, ps, pic, zdc, abcs)
    for i in range(repcount):
        rc_before = sys.gettotalrefcount()
        run_the_test()
        sys.stderr.write('.')
        dash_R_cleanup(fs, ps, pic, zdc, abcs)
        rc_after = sys.gettotalrefcount()
        if (i >= nwarmup):
            deltas.append((rc_after - rc_before))
    print >>sys.stderr
    if any(deltas):
        msg = ('%s    leaked    %s    references,    sum=%s' % (test, deltas, sum(deltas)))
        print >>sys.stderr, msg
        with open(fname, 'a') as refrep:
            print >>refrep, msg
            refrep.flush()
        return True
    return False

What's a good function header?
 Can you provide a Python code to print >>sys?

#Here is Python code to print >>sys.
