I'm confused when you "assign" errorputput to codeOut and normaloutput
to codeErr.
Also unclear why you use dictionaries in the first place.
When I run this program from a command prompt I get:
File "begiter.py", line 21, in <module>
codeOut.append({codename:erroroutput})
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'append'
However when I run it from my IDE (PythonWin) the traceback does not
show. In fact sys.stdout= sys.__stdout__ does not restore the print to
the interactive window.
So there are 2 problems. Fix the first by either
codeOut.update({codename:erroroutput})
or (preferred):
codeOut[codename]=normaloutput
