get print() output

[wavic]

i'm assuming you meant for stdout_bak and output_back to be the same.

Right! I fixed it.

import sys

stdout_bak = sys.stdout

with open('output.txt', 'w') as sys.stdout:
    print("I've never did this before so now I'm experimenting")
    print("After that output.txt should containd this prints")

sys.stdout = stdout_bak # you must return everything as it was before to print normally again

print('After the first with statement')

with open('output.txt', 'r') as in_file:
    print(in_file.read())

Output:
victor@jerry:~$ python3 /tmp/test.py
After the first with statement
I've never did this before so now I'm experimenting
After that output.txt should containd this prints
