Redircet output of Python script to .txt file

[Skaperen]

what i have done many times, because i don't know if it is safe to replace sys.stdout, and because i am running on Linux, is open the file and get the file descriptor, and replace stdout at that layer like:

    if fd!=1:
        os.dup2(fd,1)
        os.close(fd)

i usually sys.stdout.flush() before that for consistent output.
