how to direct output into a txt file in python in windows

Question

import itertools  

variations = itertools.product('abc', repeat=3)  
for variations in variations:  
    variation_string = ""  
    for letter in variations:  
        variation_string += letter  
    print (variation_string)  

How can I redirect output into a txt file (on windows platform)?

Answer 1

From the console you would write:

python script.py > out.txt

If you want to do it in Python then you would write:

with open('out.txt', 'w') as f:
    f.write(something)

Obviously this is just a trivial example. You'd clearly do more inside the with block.
