What I had in mind was that you not use the 'code' module directly at
all: the manhole module already implements the intergration you are
looking for (and more).

e.g. what happens if you replace “stdio.StandardIO(Echo())” in your
original example with this:

    from twisted.conch import manhole
    stdio.StandardIO(manhole.Manhole())

I certainly didn't mean to suggest assigning a StandardIO instance to
sys.stderr; it doesn't implement Python's file-like object protocol, so
it will fail to do anything useful in that context.
