Using subprocess to log print statements of a command

Question

I am running a Transporter command, which prints a log of what is happening to the prompt.

How would I re-direct all the print statements to a separate file called transporter_log.txt in the same folder as the script is running from? Something like -

log_file = open(PATH, 'w') subprocess.call(shlex.split("/usr/local//iTMSTransporter -m verify...") log_file.write(...)

You could specify the file as stdout parameter:

with open(PATH, 'wb') as log_file: subprocess.check_call(cmd, stdout=log_file)

The output of cmd is written to log_file.

subprocess.call(cmd, stderr=log_file), since the print statements go in stderr

What about using the redirect command (in on unix)?

your_python.py > /path/to/transporter_log.txt

It's a script that has a lot of commands, but for this specific command, I need to redirect the output (i.e., the print statements that it generates).
