Saving python print output to variable

i'm trying to print a message on the screen and then also save that in a text file, but if i put it into a variable first, then print it, it displays with things like, and () which i don't want. I'm wondering how I would save the print output to a variable, so that i can then write it to a text file.

print("P", count, ": ", "".join(random.choice(chars) for i in range(length)))

That is what i have the print as, but if i did this:

var = "P", count, ": ", "".join(random.choice(chars) for i in range(length))

it would display as this V which I dont want it to.

('P ', 314, ': ', 'ZYIAV')

You're looking for the format string syntax.

result = "P {}: {}".format(count, "".join(random.choice(chars) for i in range(length)))

Now result contains the string in the format you desire and can be printed as well.
