I am trying to use my own debugging/logging system and I am getting something strange in forms. Here is my driver script: #!/usr/local/bin/python import sys from quixote import Publisher sys.path.append("/home/micheles/md/python/quixote") app = Publisher('simpleform') app.publish_cgi() Notice that I am NOT calling setup_logs. Here is the script I am debugging: _q_exports = ["form_demo"] import sys from quixote.form import Form sys.stderr = sys.stdout = file("/tmp/x.log", "a") print "hello from main" class FormDemo(Form): def __init__(self): Form.__init__(self) self.add_widget("checkbox", "confirm", title="Are you sure?") self.add_submit_button("submit", "submit") def action (self, request, submit_button, form_data): print "hello from form" return "ok" def form_demo(request): return FormDemo().handle(request) If I run the script my log file contains the following two lines: $ cat /tmp/x.log hello from main hello from main (the first line is written when the form is displayed, the second after the form is submitted). I do NOT see a line "hello from form" so I guess inside the form sys.stdout is redirected somewhere else. How is that? Can I change this behavior? If not, I will just use "print >> logfile", but I curious to understand what is happening. Michele Simionato
