Send all file output to a text file

Question

I have the below, along with several f.write commands in my python, but I can't figure out how to get it to print/catch errors to the same file.

f=open("C:/path/to/file/log.text","a+")

Also, how would I do this for powershell? I tried the below, but it's not catching errors?

"Foo Bar Foo Bar" | Add-Content 'C:/path/to/file/log.text'

Thanks.

In PowerShell, I would recommend using a transcript to log all output that would normally go to the host. (MSDN page)

You can use the -Append flag if you would like to add to whatever is already in the file instead of overwriting.
