The easiest way is to use file redirection at run-time

$ python foo.py > results.txt

This will work on Linux/MacOS/Windows

The alternatives are
1) open a file in your program and replace all of the print statements
with write() functions

2) Use the file output trick with print

resultFile = open('results.txt',w)
print >>resultFile 'my output string'

You can find out more about file handling in the Handling Files topic of
my tutorial ...
