I don't understand what the commas atthe end of your print commands are for.
Nor do I understand what you're trying to do.
Are you trying to redirect stdout to a file?
why bother doing this?
why not just do
from time import sleep
from random import randint
f = file("log.txt","a")
while x < y:
f.write("\nNow waiting %s seconds\n" % randint(0,4))
f.close()
Or do I misunderstand what your objective is?
Also, I believe \r is windows-only, and you should use \n all the time,
or \r\n.
