I have a pretty big script and I need to output what the user typed in, and what the response of the program was. Trouble is my big file. 

import subprocess with open("output.txt", "wb") as f: subprocess.check_call(["python", "trouble.py"], stdout=f)

The following code works fine except it doesn't display anything from trouble.py on my command prompt but it still writes to output.txt. 

import troube

When I add this, the program runs correctly (runs as if I was just running the file normally) but doesn't output anything.

How do I go about doing this? Thanks

    Well it seems like you have redirected stdout to the file, so it does not print anything on terminal Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 11:32
  • subprocess.check_call(["python", "trouble.py"]) Should I remove the other parameter? Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 11:44

  • Is it a hard requirement to create the log of the session from a python program? If not, it would likely be easier to just use the script command. Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 16:12

    No sure, but search "Tee". For example: stackoverflow.com/questions/2996887/… Commented Jan 22, 2017 at 18:12
