How to redirect the output of print to a TXT file

by

If you’re on Python 2.5 or earlier, open the file and then use the file object in your redirection:

log = open("c:\\goat.txt", "w")
print >>log, "test"

If you’re on Python 2.6 or 2.7, you can use print as a function:

from __future__ import print_function
log = open("c:\\goat.txt", "w")
print("test", file = log)

If you’re on Python 3.0 or later, then you can omit the future import.

If you want to globally redirect your print statements, you can set sys.stdout:

import sys
sys.stdout = open("c:\\goat.txt", "w")
print ("test sys.stdout")
