I am trying to create a log file while running a python script, I am really not sure where the fault can occur so I can't put try and except here.

Giving you an example if my code says:

print "hello"

it should save a file on given location with .log/.txt file which will write the error like:

  File "<ipython-input-4-2a0eaa89f43f>", line 1
    print "hello"
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("hello")?

I tried to read the logging feature in python but I think that tells you how to write your own error message. Normally I write long python script to run, it run fine and when I put this in window scheduler and if some reason it fails, I don't understand why. So if there is a file getting genrated for these "python terminal error messages" as mentioned above, that will be pretty helpful. Tried to find everywhere and could not find something about this...

    If you're on Linux, you could [redirect output to a file](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6674327/redirect-all-output-to-file-in-bash) using your shell. Windows should also be able to do this – ForceBru May 05 '21 at 16:14
  • `stdout` and `stderr` redirecting works similarity on Windows as you can see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1420965/redirect-windows-cmd-stdout-and-stderr-to-a-single-file – jonathadv May 05 '21 at 16:19
  • not sure how this will work, I saw the link, not getting a clue. Can you help me with an example – deepankar srigyan May 05 '21 at 16:45
  • Perhaps you can put your code in an try statement, then for the except statement do something like – Ulto 4 May 05 '21 at 16:48

Perhaps you can put your code in an try statement, then for the except statement do something like

except Exception as e: 
  files = open('filepath','w')
  files.write(e)
  files.close()

  • Though, it will give me one line exception result, dont give me the whole log as I am looking forward. Is there way I can get whole log. – deepankar srigyan May 07 '21 at 16:22
  • The only way I can think of is to subsection your code with these statements. Then after writing an error pass. – Ulto 4 May 07 '21 at 16:58
