stderr redirect to file

[fmr300]

I'm trying to redirect stderr to a file, and I've read the numerous posts here, but it's not working for me on a Pi or on my Win laptop.
Hoping someone will see what's wrong.

Using IDLE -

On Pi, the file is written but is empty, and stderr (traceback - /0) wasn't written to the IDLE shell....

On Win, the file is written but is empty, and stderr (traceback - /0 ) still appears in the IDLE shell.


import sys
import time

sys.stderrr = open('errout.txt', 'w')
print("stderr redirected now.")

i = 1/0

You've misspelled sys.stderr. If that is corrected, it should work.

Output:
$ python3 redir.py
stderr redirected now.
$ cat errout.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "redir.py", line 7, in <module>
    i = 1/0
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

Wow.... that's what happens when you're cutting and pasting (the original error). Amazing what another set of eyes can do.

THANKS !!!
