The Console module doesn't redirect standard output, AFAIK. You can do  
that either from inside the script or when invoking it from the command  
line:

import sys
sys.stdout = open("stdout.log","w")
sys.stderr = open("stderr.log","w")
print "This goes to stdout"
print >>sys.stderr, "This goes to stderr"

or:

python yourscript.py >stdout.log 2>stderr.log

To redirect all output to the same file, you can use

sys.stdout = sys.stderr = open("output.log","w")

or:
python yourscript.py >output.log 2>&1

The same applies to pythonw.exe too.
