How to send output to file

[Mongryong]

If you're just debugging, you might want to override sys.stderr instead
of sys.stdout (ie sys.stderr = open("log","w")).  Use sys.stdout for
normal program output.

Alternatively, you can use your own global variable (ie. MYLOG =
open("log", "w")).

If you're using the 'print "some string"' convention, don't forget to
add your output handler to the print command:
ie.  1. print >> sys.stderr, "string..."
ie   2. print >> MYLOG, "string...."

My advice would be to stay awhile from the "print" convention for
outputting text.
