Hi Bob, When my program starts up, I run:
outstr=codecs.open(logfile, "w", 'utf-8') sys.stderr = outstr sys.stdout = outstr That should do what you want. The stream will close when the program closes. Takes stderr AND normal print, but you could drop the line for stdout mick On 28 February 2014 16:33, Bob Greschke <b...@passcal.nmt.edu> wrote: > This isn't quite a Tkinter thing, but why can't some clever person (I > couldn't do it) make it possible for you to put something like this > > #! /usr/bin/python -t "/home/me/error.txt",stderr > > at the beginning of a Python program and have the interpreter direct all > of the traceback messages to the file error.txt, and stderr?
