For those of you who stopped reading comp.lang.python, note that this is typical of the advice users get in the absence of syntactic "print" sugar.

on win32, to get printed output to a file i use >>> sys.stndout = open('file.txt', 'w') how do i get it to go back to the command line

#Here is the specific solution for those who remember the secret password: sys.stdout = open('file.txt', 'w') print 'this is written to file.txt' sys.stdout.close() sys.stdout = sys.stdout print 'this is written to console'

#Here is the general solution if you can't be bothered with remembering secret passwords: original_stdout = sys.stdout sys.stdout = open('file.txt', 'w') print 'this is written to file.txt' sys.stdout.close() sys.stdout = original_stdout print 'this is written to console'
