How to duplicate sys.stdout to a log file?

Question

Edit: Since it appears that there\'s either no solution, or I\'m doing something so non-standard that nobody knows - I\'ll revise my question to also ask: What is the best w

None of the answers above really seems to answer the problem posed. I know this is an old thread, but I think this problem is a lot simpler than everyone is making it:

class tee_err(object):

 def __init__(self):
    self.errout = sys.stderr

    sys.stderr = self

    self.log = 'logfile.log'
    log = open(self.log,'w')
    log.close()

 def write(self, line):

    log = open(self.log,'a')
    log.write(line)
    log.close()   

    self.errout.write(line)

Now this will repeat everything to the normal sys.stderr handler and your file. Create another class tee_out for sys.stdout.
