I think this is a linux question more than python question. In Linux, 
it's easy to do stdin-stdout-stderr redirection.

python script.py > output.txt

If you're trying to redirect the output programmatically from inside the 
python program, instead of using the shell service for I/O redirection, 
do something like this:

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