How to get execution of python print statements as a string? [duplicate]

Answer 1

If you want to save what you print, you could create a custom command, and save the output to a variable. For example

output_bin = ""

def printsave(string):
    print string
    if len(string) > 1:
        if string[-2] == "\n":
            output_bin = output_bin + string
        else:
            output_bin = output_bin + string + "\n"
    else:
        output_bin = output_bin + string + "\n

Then, whenever you call printsave() it is saved to the string output_bin. And if you want it to be saved to an array...

output_bin = []

def printsave(string):
    print string
    if len(string) > 1:
        if string[-2] == "\n":
            output_bin.append(string)
        else:
            output_bin.append(string + "\n")
    else:
        output_bin.append(string + "\n)
