print >> to a derived file

[iu2]

Hi,

I'm trying to write data to both a file and the console, so I did:

class File_and_console(file):
def write(self, s):
file.write(self, s)
print s,

>>f = File_and_console('1.txt', 'w')
f.write('hello')

hello

>>print >>f, 'world'

the 'write' method works, but 'print >>' doesn't, it writes only to
the file. It doesn't actually call File_and_console.write

Why? How can I fix it?
Thanks

This might have something to do with the class being derived from file.

I've written it so that it doesn't derive from file, and it works.

class File_and_console():
def __init__(self, *args):
self.fileobj = open(*args)
def write(self, s):
self.fileobj.write(s)
print s,

f = File_and_console('testout.tmp','w')
f.write('hello')
print >>f,'hello',

class File_and_console():
* * * * def __init__(self, *args):
* * * * * * * * self.fileobj = open(*args)
* * * * def write(self, s):
* * * * * * * * self.fileobj.write(s)
* * * * * * * * print s,

f = File_and_console('testout.tmp','w')
f.write('hello')
print >>f,'hello',

Thanks, but that's what I tried first. Then I though it would be nice
if I could just inherit from 'file' and implement this with less code.

Always use the same method for writing, or you will get weird results.
If you think the above works, try:
for char in 'sample': f.write(char)

class MultiWrite(object):

def write(self, text):
for dest in self._files:
dest.write(text)

def __init__(self, *files):
self._files = files

def close(self):
for dest in self._files:
dest.close()
f1 = MultiWrite(open('1.txt', 'w'), sys.stdout)
