I don't have a version of 2.2 to check (why are you using such an old version?), but I suspect the following is valid for all 2.x.

The print statement recognizes a first argument beginning with >> to indicate which file to write to.

The following are identical:

print "foo", "bar"
print >>sys.stdout, "foo", "bar"

As such, you can specify any file object as the target file.

f = open("log.txt", "w")
print >>f, "foo", "bar"

If you want to redirect every print statement (or at least all the ones that aren't using a specific file as shown above), you can simply replace sys.stdout with your desired file.

sys.stdout = open("log.txt", "w")
print "foo", "bar"   # Goes to log.txt

If you need it, the original standard output is still available via sys.__stdout__.
