Redirect Python 'print' output to Logger

Question

I have a Python script that makes use of \'Print\' for printing to stdout. I\'ve recently added logging via Python Logger and would like to make it so these print statement

Answer 1

You have two options:

1. Open a logfile and replace sys.stdout with it, not a function:

   log = open("myprog.log", "a")
   sys.stdout = log
   
   >>> print("Hello")
   >>> # nothing is printed because it goes to the log file instead.
   

2. Replace print with your log function:

   # If you're using python 2.x, uncomment the next line
   #from __future__ import print_function
   print = log.info
   
   >>> print("Hello!")
   >>> # nothing is printed because log.info is called instead of print
