[Bug] Afar not working with cudf/dask-cudf/gpu-numba about afar

[eriknw]

Oh no!

Thanks for the excellent bug report (and for using afar!). I'll see what I can do.

Perhaps LocalPrint could mock itself as builtins.print by setting it's __module__ and __name__ attribute as such. Far from being hacky and sinful, this may actually be a reasonable thing to do.

That might work. Another option would be to spoof sys.stdout as a threadlocal IO type and leave print alone. When no file is passed to print, it will dynamically getattr(sys, "stdout") every call, letting you still capture stdout without modifying builtins.

Release version 0.6.1 with the easy fix 🤞 . On PyPI, and should be available from conda-forge soon.

Heh, I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed by afar's code. It's... something. But, it works, and it brings me laughter 😂 !

@eriknw awesome, we'll give it a try soon and I'll keep you updated!
Cheers to bringing laughter 😂 !

Edit: tried it and indeed it worked! Thank you for your work!
