When code does a print() without specifying a file, it goes to
sys.stdout So you just have to create a new file object and bind
sys.stdout to it.
(untested)
import sys
sys.stdout = open("mylogfile.txt", "w")
or in your case sys.stdout = f
If you want to be able to go back to the original, then first bind
another symbol to it.
orig = sys.stdout
sys.stdout = f
----do stuff----
sys.stdout = orig
