Maya's Python Print statement

Coding
1

I wrote a logger that outputs stdout/stderr (info, warning, error and debug) to a Qt Window that also output’s to a logging file.

The problem that I’m having now is that I’ve broken Maya’s print statement. Print output will only show up in the Qt Window that I have re-directed output too.

How do I reset Maya’s Script Editor to starting receiving output from print statements again?

NOTE: It’s only Python’s print statement that doesn’t work, everything else outputs (i.e., mel.eval(‘print “Hello World”’)

SOLUTION:
Since I was overwriting XStream and redefining stdout I needed to reset stdout to point to Maya’s output, but where is that? Well, the hint was staring me in the face, I just needed to find it; the answer was in plogging.py (pymel’s logging system). There’s a function called _fixMayaOutput and they use it to reset their own logging system.

So…

import sys
from maya import utils

# redefine sys.stdout
sys.stdout = utils.Output

# in order to use stdout 'write' requires a 'maya.Output' so we flush it
class MayaOutput(sys.stdout):
    def flush(*args, **kwargs):
        utils.Output = MayaOutput()
        sys.stdout = utils.Output

# initialize
log = MayaOutput()

# and flush, we're back to feeding output to the script editor
log.flush()

print("Hello World")

the original console is always available in sys.stdout

I’don know if anyone can read this reeply.

class MayaOutput(sys.stdout):
def flush(*args,**kwargs):

Error: TypeError: file line 2: Error when calling the metaclass bases

file() argument 2 must be string, not tuple #
