How to execute a python script and write output to txt file?
Question: I'm executing a .py file, which spits out a give string. This command works
fine

execfile ('file.py')

But I want the output (in addition to it being shown in the shell) written
into a text file.

I tried this, but it's not working :(

execfile ('file.py') > ('output.txt')

All I get is this:

tugsjs6555

False

I guess "False" is referring to the output file not being successfully written
:(

Thanks for your help


Answer: what your doing is checking the output of `execfile('file.py')` against the
string `'output.txt'`

you can do what you want to do with subprocess

    
    
    #!/usr/bin/env python
    import subprocess
    with open("output.txt", "w+") as output:
        subprocess.call(["python", "./script.py"], stdout=output);
