IBMi python logging about ibmi-oss-docs

Sorry for the noise, I was not paying close enough attention to where this was opened against.

My guess is that you need to adjust the logging configuration with the opened log file, since it probably holds a handle to the original sys.stdout or sys.stderr even though you've replaced them.

You might want to try calling logging.basicConfig before calling any logging functions and see if that fixes it, eg.

import logging
import sys

logIFSFileName = '/path/to/log/file.txt'
sys.stdout = sys.stderr = open(logIFSFileName, 'w')
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stdout)

It worked with one exception. If there is syntax error. it got reported in QPRINT.
example:
QPRINT output.
File "/home/sgonchigar/python/test_logging_v1.py", line 22
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Well the problem there is that the syntax error detection happens before the code is run, so the code to do the redirect hasn't run yet.

You could use something like tee instead, which will redirect stdout to a log file and stdout, eg.

QSH CMD('python3 myscript.py 2>&1 | tee myfile.log')

The above example would redirect all output from myscript.py to myfile.log as well as sending it to stdout for the job.

Thank you. That worked!
