I asked a programmer at work this morning, he doesn't use Python but he did
come up with this.
import sys, os
class Tee:
def __init__(self, filename):
log = open(filename, "w")
self.prevfd = os.dup(sys.__stdout__.fileno())
os.dup2(log.fileno(), sys.__stdout__.fileno())
self.prev = sys.__stdout__
sys.__stdout__ = os.fdopen(self.prevfd, "w")
def __exit__(self):
restore()
def restore():
os.dup2(self.prevfd, self.prev.fileno())
sys.__stdout__ = self.prev
# begin redirect logging to file
tee = Tee("c:\\log.txt")
So at the moment it does what I'm after but it completely redirects the
output window and now there isn't any output in the console, I don't know
python well enough at the moment to take it further.
Is there a way to keep both?
Thanks guys,
