I had this same issue before and found this snippet very useful:
class Tee(object):
def __init__(self, name, mode):
self.file = open(name, mode)
self.stdout = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = self
def __del__(self):
sys.stdout = self.stdout
self.file.close()
def write(self, data):
self.file.write(data)
self.stdout.write(data)
def flush(self):
self.file.flush()
