Answer 1

There are two general approaches. Outside of python:

python your_program.py >output_file.txt

Or, inside of Python:

out = open("output_file.txt", "w")
for alignment in blast_record.alignments:
    for hsp in alignment.hsps:
        print >>out, '>', alignment.title
        print >>out, hsp.sbjct
out.close()
