Printing in the absence of console windows

Depending on what parameters you give to your wxApp or
its derivate, you can make stdout go to the console,
to a separate window, or to a log file. (Strange, I can't
find this in the wxWindows alphabetical class reference.)

Anyway:

myApp = wxApp(0) #=> Print to "DOS prompt"
myApp = wxApp(1) #=> Print to separate stdout/stderr Window
myApp = wxApp(filename='log.txt') #=> Print to file 'log.txt'

wxApp(1) is a bit boring if your app crashes badly, unless
you are a very fast reader...

This is a great tip. I didn't know that :slight_smile: This is a good
candidate for the wiki.

You can't find it in the Documentation. It's a wxPython feature and not a
wxWindows feature. Actually for logging to a file you have to say

myApp = wxApp(1,filename='log.txt') #=> Print to file 'log.txt'

The parameter '1' regulates if it's redirected or not.
