Another way nobody has yet mentioned:

     import sys
     old_output, sys.stdout = sys.stdout, open('somefile.txt', 'w')

     try:
         <<<put call to original code here>>>
     finally:
         old_output, sys.stdout = sys.stdout, old_output
         old_output.close()
         print 'Output safely written to:', old_output.name
