Specifically, you can set and reset sys.stdout:

sys.stdout = open("myfile.log", "w")  # like above
try:
     # do things that write to sys.stdout
finally:
     # sys.__stdout__ contains the "real" standard output
     sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__

Note that the above approach will also affect print statements in other threads
than the one which should use the redirection.
