[IPython-dev] Logging commands using the %logstart magic

I'm trying to replicate functionality found in IDL which generates
something called "journal" files. Journal files in IDL are essentially a
log of commands alongside the (commented out) output and themselves produce
valid code.
IPython's %logstart with the "-o" flag is almost exactly what I need,
except it doesn't seem to record standard out (only IPython out):
> ipython
Python 2.7.6
IPython 2.2.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
In [1]: %logstart -o testing_logging.py
Activating auto-logging. Current session state plus future input saved.
Filename : testing_logging.py
Mode : backup
Output logging : True
Raw input log : False
Timestamping : False
State : active
In [2]: print 'Hello logging world non-IPython out!'
Hello logging world non-IPython out!
In [3]: 'Hello logging world IPython out!'
Out[3]: 'Hello logging world IPython out!'
In [4]: exit
The resulting file looks like:
# IPython log file
print 'Hello logging world non-IPython out!'
'Hello logging world IPython out!'
#[Out]# 'Hello logging world IPython out!'
exit()
Essentially I'd like the contents of the second input to be recorded as it
is for the third.
Before I go hacking around with the magic and sys.stdout, does anybody have
a quick solution to this?
Thanks,
Phil
