Create an output file and custom function:

outputFile = open('outputfile.log', 'w')

def printing(text):
    print(text)
    if outputFile:
        outputFile.write(str(text))

Then instead of print(text) in your code, call printing function.

printing("START")
printing(datetime.datetime.now())
printing("COMPLETE")
printing(datetime.datetime.now())
