How to redirect 'print' output to a file using python?

Question

I want to redirect the print to a .txt file using python. I have a \'for\' loop, which will \'print\' the output for each of my .bam file while I want to redirect ALL these

Answer 1

You can redirect print with the >> operator.

f = open(filename,'w')
print >>f, 'whatever'     # Python 2.x
print('whatever', file=f) # Python 3.x

In most cases, you're better off just writing to the file normally.

f.write('whatever')

or, if you have several items you want to write with spaces between, like print:

f.write(' '.join(('whatever', str(var2), 'etc')))
