Redirect stdout to file

[Gaetan Corneau]

Frederik,

I tried it and tought it didn't work, but it seems it was my fault. I did it
this way:

from sys import stdout
stdout = open("out.txt", "w")

I changed to:

import sys
sys.stdout = open("out.txt", "w")

and it worked. Do you know why?

Thanks a lot for your help!

try this:

import sys
sys.stdout = open("my.log", "w")
print "this ends up in the logg file"
