[Tutor] Logging stdout and stderr

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Hi,

Why don't you print it while you get it..?

import os, sys

logfile = open("logfile.txt", "r")
input, output = os.popen2("your command")

while True:
   temp = output.read(1) #or whatever fits you, more bytes is faster

   if not temp: //EOF reached
     break

   logfile.write(temp)
   sys.stdout.write(temp)
