So, if you update the Dockerfile to:
```
FROM ubuntu:15.04
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "-c", "cat"]

Things should work as you wish.
Also, as you don't need the `$1`, you should be able to change it to:

I use some function that at some points print something in the console.
As I can't modify them, I would like to know if there is a solution to not printing while using these functions. | Yes, you can redirect `sys.stdout`:
```
import sys
import os
old_stdout = sys.stdout # backup current stdout
sys.stdout = open(os.devnull, "w")
my_nasty_function()
sys.stdout = old_stdout # reset old stdout
```
Just replace `my_nasty_function` with your actual function.
**EDIT:** Now should work on windows aswell... |
