[FIXED] How to redirect output of one module only to a file?

Issue

I am making a server with Python 2. For that I use the module CGIHTTPServer and I want to redirect only the outputs of that module to a file. I tried already CGIHTTPServer.sys.stdout = open("file.log", "w"), CGIHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPServer.sys,stdout = open("file.log", "w"), but both had simply no effect. Is that possible at all, and if yes, how ?

Solution

In a module you want to redirect everything to stdout.

import sys

stdout_sav = sys.stdout
fout = open('file.log', 'w')
sys.stdout = fout

# since now, whatever is printed to standard output goes to file

(...)


# at the end restore standard output

sys.stdout = stdout_sav
fout.close()
